Give for Good

Virtua’s Colleague Giving Campaign

Let’s make a difference together from November 1 – December 3, 2024!

“Give for Good is a special way to demonstrate the collective power of our philanthropy during this season of gratitude. When we contribute as individuals—each doing our small part—together we can make an impact that brings remarkable benefit to our patients, community, and each other.” — Dennis W. Pullin, FACHE, President and CEO

Your Generosity Matters at Virtua

Through Give for Good, Virtua colleagues have the opportunity to make a remarkable difference for each other, our patients, and the community we serve. Even when we feel that our individual gifts are small, when we join together our collective impact is vast. Together through philanthropy, we create change and improve lives every day by:

  • Supporting and uplifting each other through the Colleague Care Fund.
  • Reducing financial barriers for Virtua nurses and nursing students continuing their education.
  • Ensuring that our community – including our colleagues – has access to fresh, healthy, and affordable foods.
  • …and so much more!

Give for Good is a vital part of how we ensure that our colleagues and community can be well, get well, and stay well. It’s our culture – the Culture of WE. We are caring colleagues, Here for Good. And, together WE make a difference!

Why Colleague Giving Matters

Tamara Johnson, RN
Nurse, Pediatric Emergency Department

“As a graduate of Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing and a former scholarship recipient, I know first-hand the impact scholarships have on students. Being able to receive donor-funded scholarships relieves stress from the financial burden of school, which allows students to stay focused on their education. It also motivates them to continue their academic success. Now in my role as a pediatric nurse at Virtua Voorhees Hospital, I am doing something that I’ve been passionate about for a long time – caring for kids! Knowing that I’m providing our young patients and their families with the utmost care and reassurance during critical moments and building trust with them throughout their stay is incredibly fulfilling.”

Why Colleague Giving Matters

Shirley Richardson, EdD, RN
Dean, Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing

“Everybody Always. There is an extensive amount of inclusiveness in these two words. I cannot think of a better way to live out the simplicity and complexity of these words than participating in the Give for Good campaign. Sharing and kindness are part of who we are as healthcare providers and members of the Virtua team. Education is integral to changing the lives of members of our community, and I see this change take place in my role every day. I give to the Nursing Scholarship and Colleague Care funds to assist with furthering our colleagues’ education and to care for members of the Virtua family when the need arises.”

Why Colleague Giving Matters

Jennifer McAteer
Patient Access Registrar

“Virtua was there for me in a way I didn’t expect when my beloved husband, Edward, suddenly passed away. Knowing they cared about me as a person and not just as an employee meant the world to me. I was lucky to find out about the Colleague Care Fund and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without it. People don’t realize how important it is to have an employer and fellow colleagues who are fully behind you. Virtua is a big family that is there for us at the heart. I’m truly grateful for the support I received, which is why I now make a regular contribution to this fund in my husband’s memory. Helping the next colleague who is facing a difficult situation is the best way I know of to say thank you!”

Why Colleague Giving Matters

Greg Pease
Director of Operations, Outpatient Services

“Giving to others is something that comes from our hearts. As a leader at Virtua, I believe it’s important that ‘WE’ give back in any way we can to help our patients and community members in need. I personally give each year to Virtua’s CASTLE program. For me, there’s nothing better than knowing that my donation is truly helping children in Camden County get the treatment they deserve. Together, ‘WE’ make the difference!”
