Philanthropy Programs


The Grateful Hearts Program is a way to recognize those who have provided exceptional care and support. Whether someone chooses to honor a staff member or an entire department, their donation is a meaningful way to show gratitude while supporting our programs and mission.

Gifts donated may support resident care in areas of greatest need (unrestricted) or in a department or service of special meaning to the donor. Each gift can also be designated in honor or in memory of a staff member or a loved one.

Brochures are located by the Foundation Office (Room 411) and near the front desk at the BSJ Care Center.

You can also request brochures by emailing the BSJ foundation Fund Development Director, Amanda Acklin at aacklin@bsjcorp.com or by calling (608) 519-9778.
