Local Blackfoot charities receive $25,000 in donations

Bingham Memorial Hospital (BMH) and the Bingham Health Care Foundation representatives donated $25,000 to three, local Blackfoot charities.

Bingham Crisis Center received a donation of $12,500.

Community Dinner Table, Inc. (CDT) received a donation of $7,500.

Dawn Enterprises, Inc. received a donation of $5,000.

Bingham Memorial employees donated all of the funds earlier this year during an employee fundraiser campaign.

They also had the opportunity to vote for the charity to which they wanted the funds allocated.

The final consensus of the employee vote determined the amount each charity received.

“Bingham Memorial employees responded in such a heartfelt and overwhelming way, and we raised a record setting amount,” said Director of the Foundation, Danette Roberts. “We are very proud to support these charities. Thank you to everyone involved for making this an incredible year, and for helping make a real difference in the lives of so many.”
