Our Commitment

David Hoese and Guests

Associate Board members support the hospital in many different ways. Some volunteer on the RIC's pediatric floor where they interact with children and adolescents receiving rehabilitation care. Others prefer to work on fundraising events such as the Bearcat Ball or ArtFutura by acquiring silent auction items, selling tickets or planning entertainment. All members focus on raising awareness of the hospital and its commitment to making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
