Auction Raises $719 for Ventilator

A silent auction over the holidays for 21 employee-donated wreaths and swags at Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) raised $719 toward Bradford Area High School's ongoing fundraising effort to purchase a ventilator, says Stacy Williams, the hospital’s director of Annual Giving and Volunteer Services.

Auction proceeds benefit “First Breath,” a fundraising effort to purchase a ventilator for BRMC’s Respiratory Services Department, she says.

The First Breath fundraising campaign was started by a Bradford High student who had a desire to attend the Pennsylvania Governor’s School for Health Care and her need to participate in a leadership program.

Steve Mongillo, a Bradford High guidance counselor, says, "This was quite an undertaking for one student. The school and other students would like to see this project through and will continue to work on fundraising efforts."

Earlier fundraising activities included a walk-a-thon at Callahan Park and a coin drive.
