Southwestern Vermont Health Care is preparing for their annual cardiology fundraising event, Dine to Your Heart's Delight, and they are seeking to partner with local businesses for the event's success, a win-win for Chamber members and our health system.
What is Dine to Your Heart's Delight? It's a series of special events-a week long promotion of local shopping/dining from April 1 - 8, an upscale dance party at the Taconic Hotel on Sat. April 9, and a raffle of $10,000 in cash-all to benefit heart health and education at Southwestern Vermont Health Care.
Attached please find a fund raiser information packet describing event/offerings for businesses. The packet can be found online at Heartsdelight. Importantly, businesses can donate a flat amount or a percentage of sales to participate.
The proposed "win" for local businesses is threefold:
*Increased business and traffic at your business during a historically slow time of year,
April 1- 8
* Promotion of your business through a multi-faceted marketing plan
* Recognition of your business as a supporter of good health in our community
* Deduction donations are tax deductible to Southwestern Vermont Healthcare
The "win" for SVHC's cardiology department is that they are the beneficiary of the funds raised during the week.
