Fundraising is undertaken by Alliance members for the purpose of supporting the Foundation’s grant processes. The Alliance usually undertakes two major fundraisers each year, the Charity Ball, a formal event, and the Surf and Turf sale and dinner, a casual event. In addition, this year the Alliance will be hosting an evening of shopping at Hot Mama.
Health Promotions are activities that follow AMA Alliance initiatives or locally adopted projects to promote education and/or assistance with regard to health issues in the local community. Past projects have included a school anti-bullying campaign called “Hands are not for Hitting” and a “Health Literacy” program directed toward medical providers.
Community Projects are those in which we have established an ongoing relationship with organizations in our community. We also have members acting as liaisons on a number of Boards including Cherry Street Health Services, Kent Medical Foundation, and the West Michigan Medical Association.
Special Interest Groups are designed for social interaction between members in areas of mutual interest. Members are invited to join any group on a regular or occasional basis. Friends are always welcome! Gourmet Club is the only exception due to its popularity and space considerations. Members are also welcome to initiate a new group based on personal interests. |
