Tracy McMillan, owner of Sassy’s Nail Studio turned her 54th birthday into a gift for the community by raising $400 in support of the WDMH Foundation’s Health Care Undesignated Fund.
Instead of celebrating with a traditional event, Tracy decided to donate all cash-paid services during the month of September to help ensure that local patients have access to the best care close to home.
“The reason I decided to do a fundraiser during my birthday month is because having a hospital and long-term care home locally is extremely important to me and my family,” said Tracy.
Her commitment is deeply personal. About 10 years ago, both her mother and her late husband received life-saving care at Winchester District Memorial Hospital. Tracy herself has also experienced the compassion and skill of the emergency team during several visits over the years.
The WDMH Foundation is grateful for Tracy’s generosity. “Tracy’s story is a wonderful reminder of the impact that one person can have,” says Cindy Ault Peters, Executive Director. “By turning her birthday into an opportunity to give back, she has made a real difference for local health care.”
Funds raised support the WDMH Foundation’s Health Care Undesignated Fund, which directs donations where they are needed most – whether at Winchester District Memorial Hospital or at the new Dundas Manor Long-Term Care Home.
