todayMay 10, 2017


David Kuharski, of Eldorado, is the grand prize winner of the Agnesian HealthCare Foundation’s Samaritan Cash Raffle, being randomly drawn for the $100,000 cash prize.  Ticket sales were steady all morning on the drawing’s final day, May 10. The  grand prize winner was announced by Holly Brenner, Agnesian HealthCare Foundation president, and Evelyn Schaefer, MD, Agnesian HealthCare psychologist who has served on the cash raffle’s planning committee.     This is the fourth year the Agnesian HealthCare Foundation has offered the cash raffle. It follows a successful annual Samaritan Health Clinic House Raffle, which was established 22 years ago to help provide vital medical and emergency dental services to individuals and families in financial need whether at Ripon Medical Center, St. Agnes Hospital or Waupun Memorial Hospital. More than 5,700 tickets were sold in this year’s raffle.   “We are so grateful for everyone’s dedication,” according to Brenner. “There is a continued need in our community for the Samaritan Health Clinic. Access to this quality care dramatically affects the lives of many individuals and families in our area. In fact, statistics show that more than 7,648 Fond du Lac County residents and more than 6,726 Dodge County residents are uninsured. Even more are underinsured. As a result, charity care programs, which provide free or low-cost health care to uninsured or underinsured individuals, will continue to play an important role in the healthcare system.”
