The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from Taylorville Memorial Hospital Foundation Director Katie Champion Williams.
Williams stated that she is three months into the position as Foundation Director coming in with 21 years of fundraising experience. Williams worked with the American Cancer Society and UIS with her fundraising efforts and is looking forward to working with TMH.
She recently received her master’s degree and in doing so wrote her thesis on fundraising. Williams is driven by Healthcare Philanthropy and believes that generosity turns into better health care.
Williams went on to state that funds that are associated with the Butterfield Foundation are utilized to obtain lifesaving equipment for the hospital and first responders.
Williams informed the club that a new fund has been created called the Kim Bourne Endowment fund focused on assisting emerging leaders. Monies from both the Butterfield Foundation and Emerging Leaders Endowment are used locally.
