Mission
Statement for Woody’s
Circle of Care Foundation
The
mission of the Woody’s Circle of Care Foundation is to assist
families in the Bucks and Montgomery County areas that are facing difficult
times due to an illness or tragedy.
The foundation works closely
with school nurses, social workers, health care providers, clergy, and
community members to identify and qualify families that are in need of
assistance. In addition, the foundation was established to provide
hope and support to these families during their crisis.
The Story of How We Began
The Woody’s Circle of Care Foundation was established in 1999
by a group of friends who graduated from Hatboro Horsham High School
in 1982. Sadly, a series of recent tragic accidents struck family
members from this group and they banded together to hold a golf outing
in September 1999 at Limekiln Golf Course. The event was pulled
together quickly and the funds which were raised were immediately given
to the families in need; but they didn’t want
the giving to end there. Each of the friends felt that they were
fortunate in so many ways and wanted to continue to give back to those
in their community who needed help. Thus, the Woody’s Circle
of Care Foundation was established and has been running successfully
for 7 years.
The Name
The foundation was established in memory of David “Woody” McDonald. Woody
was a caring father who devoted his time and energy for the benefit of
his friends, family, and community. It is the objective of this
foundation to carry forward Woody’s spirit and continue his message
of caring for others.
