SUMMER 2024 GIVEBACK PARTNER: KVH FOUNDATION

Nuwave Gallery and Fortuity Cellars are thrilled to announce that the recipient of their "Back to the Burg" program for the third quarter of 2024 will be the Kittitas Valley Healthcare (KVH) Foundation. From July through September, a portion of the proceeds from sales at both Nuwave Gallery and Fortuity Cellars will be donated to the KVH Foundation to support their mission of enhancing healthcare services in the community.

ABOUT Kittitas Valley Healthcare foundation

The Foundation at Kittitas Valley Healthcare was created in 1986. Centrally located in Washington State, Kittitas Valley Healthcare (KVH) includes a critical access hospital, clinics, and specialty services in both upper and lower Kittitas County. The Foundation works to enhance programs that promote, encourage, and assist the improvement and expansion of excellent healthcare at Kittitas Valley Healthcare.


ABOUT THE BACK TO THE BURG PROGRAM

Erin Oostra, owner of Nuwave Gallery, and Lee & Emily Fergestrom, owners of Fortuity Cellars, are passionate about giving back to the Ellensburg community. Their "Back to the Burg" program selects a local non-profit organization each quarter to receive financial support through a combination of monetary and in-kind donations. This quarter, they are excited to focus their efforts on the KVH Foundation, an organization that plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving healthcare services for residents of Kittitas County.

"Charitable giving is a timeless tradition, a tangible reflection of our support for the institutions and causes that influence our lives. Fortunately, charitable giving does not require great wealth. What it does require is generosity of spirit – the desire to share what you have for the benefit of others," says Erin Oostra. "We are proud to support the KVH Foundation and their mission to ensure excellent healthcare services for our community."
