Bluffton Hospital’s Founding Mothers Dedication Wall
In recognition of Mother’s Day, the Blanchard Valley Health Foundation will provide an opportunity in the Bluffton community to honor or remember a mother by recognizing her as a “Founding Mother.”
A recognition wall is currently being added near maternity at The Women’s Center of Bluffton Hospital. This wall will feature “Founding Mothers” who have been acknowleged by friends and family members.
Through this program, mothers will receive an engraved butterfly permanently placed on the dedication wall, named in a special ad in the Bluffton Icon and Bluffton News and will be presented a special, limited butterfly charm necklace.
The butterfly charms are crafted by local artist Kat Luginbuhl and will be available for pick-up beginning Monday, May 8. CLICK HERE to read the story and see photos of Luginbuhl's art in process.
“This is an opportunity to recognize the women in our lives who have provided roots in the community and wings to fly,” explained Marie Swaisgood, chief development officer for the Blanchard Valley Health Foundation.
All commitments need to be made by Wednesday, April 26 in order to be featured in the special ad and to receive a charm in time for Mother’s Day on May 14. For more information please visit bvhealthsystem.org/foundingmothers or call 419.423.5457.
