Bayfront Health Foundation Celebrates Incredible Employee Campaign


(July 13, 2005)

The employees of Bayfront Health System (St. Petersburg, FL) have contributed an astounding $868,000 in support of the System’s Second Century Campaign! This incredible outpouring of support makes it clear just how much Bayfront’s team believes in the future of their Medical Center and in the life saving work done there. Hundreds of employees, sharing a vision of what can happen when they make a real commitment, joined together to produce a record breaking total. How proud they each must feel!

This record-setting total came from hard work and careful, step-by-step planning – all geared at giving each staff member important ways to participate. By using friendly, but spirited competition between employee teams, with hospital wide publicity about progress, the Foundation staff set important fund raising goals and provided lots of guidance. Just as importantly, Bayfront’s senior administration is strongly behind the campaign. When it comes together, this is the result!

All of us at Corporate DevelopMint are delighted at this wonderful result. These fantastic results make it once again clear how incredible the potential of philanthropic support is for healthcare. It takes hard work and real commitment, but the results can help drive your institution’s future to heights that are simply not obtainable otherwise.

Anthony Meyer, CFRE, CDM Senior Consultant and Lead Counsel for Bayfront's campaign, says, "In my 16 years in the development field, I have never seen a group of employees rally around and support a campaign more strongly – the employees of Bayfront Health System are incredible!”
