Congratulations!
The St. Rose Dominican Health Foundation is pleased to announce that two of our nominees were selected this year for awards by the Las Vegas Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Board member, Randal R. Peoples, M.D. was voted Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser. The winner of this category is determined based on demonstrated volunteer leadership skills for fundraising projects along with outstanding skills in enlisting and motivating groups of volunteers. As a member of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Peoples is an active volunteer with a very strong understanding of the importance of philanthropy. In addition to the regularly scheduled Board meetings, Dr. Peoples participates in almost all of the Hospitals special events—from ground breaking ceremonies, to building dedications, to site visits, to annual galas. As a perfect example of his commitment, Dr. Peoples has volunteered as the Health Foundation’s Board representative to Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) since the partnership began in 2005. Dr. Peoples personal association brings prestige and community awareness to St. Rose. His genuine interest in others along with his kind and giving nature attracts grateful patients and friends from everywhere.
The honor of Outstanding Corporation/Foundation was awarded to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This award honors a corporation or foundation that demonstrates outstanding commitment through financial support of a nonprofit organization and serves as an example to others in our community. Komen for the Cure is dedicated to curing breast cancer at every stage - from the causes, to the cures, to the pain and anxiety of every moment in between. For the past 25 years, Komen for the Cure has played a critical role in every major advance in the fight against breast cancer – transforming how the world talks about and treats the disease and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors. This initiative has increased awareness, improved access, and expanded healthcare services for St. Rose Dominican Hospitals and the Barbara Greenspun WomensCare Centers.
It was our pleasure to nominate Dr. Randal Peoples and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure for these awards. Their deep commitment to our community and active participation in philanthropy—whether attending meetings and special events, entertaining prospective donors, soliciting friends, advocating for improved quality of life or making gifts—has made southern Nevada a better place to live, work and play.
Congratulations, Dr. Randal Peoples and Susan G. Komen for the Cure!
