A Gift in 2021

10/13/2021

 
Our golf committee volunteers were very excited to present the University of Iowa Center for Advancement with a check for $32,665.00 from the proceeds of our 4th Annual Dragonfly Transplant Fund Golf Outing and Fundraiser this summer! Thank you to Alli Ingman from UICA for joining us for this special moment.

Since the inception of the Dragonfly Transplant Fund, we have raised over $83,000 with our golf outing fundraisers alone. We work hard as a volunteer group to ensure that we are spending our time, talents, and resources effectively to make the biggest impact on transplant patients and their caregivers.

Our vision for the Dragonfly Transplant Fund is to compliment the expert care transplant patients and their caregivers receive at the UIHC Transplant Center, specifically with enhanced educational materials and a dedicated lounge area to serve as a resource and to provide community and comfort to those in need. Below is some current information on our work with the University of Iowa Center for Advancement to continue this vision:

Create an engaged community of survivorship and re-birth from end-stage organ failure for pre-, peri and post-transplant patients and for their caregivers through philanthropy with:

  • A short-term vision to provide amenities for patients and families during their transplant experience
    • Meals, coffee cards and other resources (as examples) for those in financial need
    • Short term housing at local motels for those in financial need
    • Tools for successful transition to home for monitoring and recording progress and success

  • A longer-term vision in alignment with the UIHC master plan to create the Dragonfly Resource Center, a physical location for transplant recipients, caregivers and their families within the walls of UIHC to serve as a respite and a learning center
    • Long term fund growth earmarked for a physical space in the 10-year master plan for UIHC
    • Once complete, the Dragonfly Resource Center will provide a physical space to foster a community of support and survivorship for patients and their caregivers

  • Aspirational vision to provide short and medium-term permanent housing for patients and families receiving life-saving abdominal transplant surgery at UIHC
