Foundation frequently assists with medication, medical services, transportation and more
Gifts made to any patient assistance fund or charitable program at CRMC Foundation will be matched dollar-for-dollar now through midnight Tuesday, Nov. 11, during the Double Your Donation Day challenge.
“This is a great way to stretch a donation to have double the impact, helping right here in our community,” said John Bell, Foundation director. “A $20 gift becomes $40 to help a local pediatric patient; a $100 gift becomes $200 to help a cancer patient in our community.”
Cookeville Regional Charitable Foundation helps several thousand residents of the Upper Cumberland each year who are suffering from disease, sickness or injury. The Foundation frequently assists with medication, medical services, transportation, medical equipment, groceries, utilities and other critical health or home needs.

Established Upper Cumberland assistance funds include:

One hundred percent of donations made to the Foundation go directly to charitable programs and services that assist residents living in the 14 counties of the Upper Cumberland. No portion of gifts received are used for overhead or staff expense.
“The Foundation is unique in the fact we spend every dollar we are given to help here locally,” said Bell. “We are asking you to please give what you can. Your gift will then be matched, and go to help neighbors facing a health emergency today. Every dollar counts.”
Again, gifts made as a part of Double Your Donation Day will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to a total of $50,000.
Gifts may be made online at www.CookevilleRegionalCharity.org, over the phone at 931-783-2003 or by sending a check to CRMC Foundation, 1 Medical Center Blvd, Cookeville TN 38501 with a date of Nov. 11 indicated on the check.
