West River Health Services Foundation Presents: Giving Hearts Day & the "43 Campaign!"
Giving Hearts Day, North Dakota's largest online giving event, is Thursday, February 12. The West River Health Services Foundation has proudly participated for seven years, supporting West River Health Services and Western Horizons Living Centers.
Giving Hearts Hoops Nights, launched in 2018, features area businesses covering game admission, pop, and popcorn—inviting fans to "pay it forward" in support of local healthcare.
Based in Hettinger, WRHS serves southwestern North Dakota and northwestern South Dakota through its critical access hospital, care center, assisted living, and satellite clinics in New England, Mott, Bowman, Scranton, Hettinger, and Lemmon, SD.
With $43,000 in matching funds, the WRHS Foundation aims to "Match the Match" by raising an additional $43,000 through February 12, 2026. Every gift of $10 or more counts. Join the 43 Campaign and help make a difference on Giving Hearts Day!
