Legacy Society
St. Luke's Magic Valley Health Foundation
Honoring those who leave a Legacy for a healthier community.
The annual Legacy Society dinner of the St. Luke's Magic Valley Health Foundation was held April 10, 2008. The dinner recognized generous businesses, organizations, and individuals who make up the Legacy Society. Each has provided accumulative gifts of at least $1,000 through the St. Luke's Magic Valley Health Foundation.
This year's dinner was underwritten by Reynolds Funeral Chapel . All Legacy Society members are recognized in one of three areas of the hospital: the McKain-Kinney Remembrance Rose Garden, the Cancer Center Wall of Honor, and the Legacy Society Wall of Honor.

Former Foundation donors were recognized as well as 111 donors who recently entered a new donor category. All Legacy Society members are recognized in one of three areas of the hospital: the McKain Kinney Remembrance Rose Garden, the Cancer Center Wall of Honor and the Legacy Society Wall of Honor.
Recognition awards were presented to: Golay’s Twin Falls Granite and Marble, Small Business Supporter of the Year; Oasis Stop N Go, Large Business Supporter of the Year; Patty Skuza, Outstanding Hospital Volunteer of the Year; Terry Rowe (Pioneer Federal), Outstanding Event Volunteer of the Year; Carolyn Cutler (Gem State Realty), Outstanding Foundation Board Member of the Year; and Dr. Ben and Gloria Katz for Philanthropists of the Year.
Due to generous community support, last year the Foundation was able to award more than $390,000 in health related grants to support staff and community health education, medical equipment, and health related programs.
Overall, the Foundation has given over $6.7 million in support of health care programs. Additionally, three new endowments were established by bequests and current donors.
Each Foundation donor is making a difference for this community. Support from compassionate donors is the reason the Foundation can assist in making the Magic Valley one of the healthiest places to live.
