How to Give

Gift Clubs & Societies

Friends of the Lakeland Regional Medical Center Foundation play a vitally important role in shaping LRMCs and LRCC's future. While some donors choose to make a major gift to fund a specific need, other donors choose to make their gifts annually. Participation in the Foundation's giving clubs (particularly 1914 & Morrell Societies) allows donors unique opportunities for recognition, dialogue with hospital staff and interaction with other donors.

Annual Giving to the Foundation

Sentry Club (gifts of $100 - $999 each year)
Sentry Club members, as guardians of healthcare, annually fund current and ongoing needs.  Sentry Club members receive yearly recognition in Foundation publications as well as a special Sentry Club memento.

1914 Society (gifts of $1,000 and higher each year)
These sustaining gifts help make possible the Foundation�s grants to LRMC and LRCC for equipment, construction and renovation, patient, community and staff education, and the establishment of new programs.  1914 Society members are considered premier investors in healthcare and enjoy benefits such as access to special services as a patient at LRMC (expedited admission process, gourmet meal service, etc.), yearly recognition and invitations to exclusive gatherings.

Women In Philanthropy (gifts of $100+ yearly to womens health)
Donors to the Women In Philanthropy society play a unique role in shaping healthcare for women in our community while learning and building awareness of womens services.  The purpose of Women in Philanthropy is to inspire and empower women to fulfill their philanthropic potential by improving the quality of health care for women of all ages in our community.  Members of Women in Philanthropy not only enhance their own awareness of health, but also that of family and friends, while setting the example of the art of philanthropy for the next generation of women.

Special Giving Societies

Senior Donor Club (for donors who are 65 or older)
The Foundation recognizes that seniors have a special connection to healthcare and our hospital, therefore, we've created a club, exclusively for Foundation donors ages 65 and older that helps see to their needs by providing opportunities to learn, interact and celebrate with other seniors who support strong healthcare in our community.  Membership only requires a $25/household yearly gift to the Foundation, or if you are already an annual donor to the Foundation - membership is FREE!  If you are interested in participating in the Senior Donor Club contact the Foundation at 687-1296.

Morrell Society (gifts of $10,000 or more a year or over a lifetime)
Morrell Society gifts members have made a significant commitment to advancing medical services in the community by making gifts totaling more than $10,000 throughout their lifetimes. The Foundation permanently recognizes Morrell Society donors by placing a plaque on our donor walls and providing access to special services as a patient at LRMC (expedited admission process, gourmet meal service, etc.), yearly recognition and invitations to exclusive gatherings. Additional recognitions occur as Morrell Society members cumulative giving increases to the Silver ($25,000+), Gold ($50,000+), Platinum ($100,000+) and Diamond ($500,000) levels.
