Morrison Community Hospital Foundation’s Big Squeeze Committee held another winning fundraiser, with its Kentucky Derby theme, on Saturday, October 5, 2013. The generosity of participants garnered $28,000 during this “Run for the Roses.” Last year’s fundraiser crossed the finish line at $19,500.
Proceeds will contribute toward the purchase of a Bennett Contour Acquisition Station for the mammography machine. The CAS is one of five components or utilities that will “drasticallly improve” service, according to Mick Welding, ??

Morrison’s venerable Whiteside County Fairgrounds is the appropriate venue for this prominent social event, on Saturday, October 5, 2013, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Enjoy heavy hors d’ oeuvres, lively libations, trend-settings toppers, horse races, and more derby-related fun!
K.J.’s Bar and Grill will provide bar service, and Rastrelli’s will delight again with a delicious menu of delectables.
Several of Morrison’s creative geniuses will design one-of-a-kind headwear, to be presented in a captivating style show/auction.
Prizes will be awarded for the most awesome derby-related attire and accessories. It might be the first weekend in October, but it will look like Churchill Downs on the first weekend in May!
The MCH Foundation is champing at the bit to offer this community yet another event that, hands down, will put the fun in fundraising.
The mission of the MCH Foundation is to support Morrison Community Hospital, foster it’s growth, and to perpetuate excellence in healthcare. The foundation is grateful for the outstanding community support received since its establishment.
