Springfield , Ore. – In its 10th year, Lunch at Tiffany’s raised a record $192,00 for the Children’s Miracle Network program at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend.
The luncheon and auction, which was held on Oct. 3 at Valley River Inn in Eugene, raised $13,000 more than last year.
“We’re so grateful to all of the generous donors and sponsors, including 11 local credit unions involved in Credit Unions for Kids, which was Lunch at Tiffany’s presenting sponsor,” said Alexa Sharps, the Sacred Heart Medical Center Foundation’s pediatric program director of development.
“The money raised enables babies and kids in our region to get specialized treatment and services closer to home at RiverBend, instead of having to travel to Portland or San Francisco,” she said.
