About Journey
For more than 20 years, corporate and individual donors have joined the Lima Memorial Foundation in presenting the annual Journey event. Collaboratively, the Foundation has created meaningful experiences by working towards a common goal of raising funds to support the well-being and recovery of patients at Lima Memorial. Thousands have joined us throughout the years for an energizing experience, which includes networking, dinner, silent & live auctions and more.
​
All proceeds from A Journey in Time will support the health system’s Area of Greatest Need, allowing the Lima Memorial Foundation and the hospital to respond quickly and efficiently to community needs as they arise.
Past Journey Events
Journey 2023
Lima Memorial is one of many hospitals across the nation facing significant capacity constraints within our inpatient units. In addition to increased health care needs and limited capacity, the prevalence of patients in observation status continues to increase. With our community's support, we will establish a dedicated Observation Unit at Lima Memorial Health System.
2022 | Journey Repackaged Health Care Reimagined
Lima Memorial Foundation’s Journey 2022, Journey Repackaged, Healthcare Reimagined addresses an emerging need in our community—helping patients with chronic diseases effectively manage their ongoing healthcare needs at home. We will create a program to coordinate care among providers and healthcare settings, establish a network of services and resources and remove barriers to receiving necessary home health care. With your help, we can meet this critical need and continue Lima Memorial’s commitment to providing the most advanced care for our patients locally.
2021 | A Critical Journey
Lima Memorial Foundation's 2021 Journey was a critical one. Patients who are in a fight for their lives need your support. As an established leader in providing advanced care in the region, Lima Memorial cares for the sickest of patients, many of who require inpatient renal dialysis as part of their lifesaving treatment. With your help, we met this critical need and continued Lima Memorial’s commitment to providing the most advanced care for our patients locally.
2020 | A Journey Like No Other
The Lima Memorial Foundation Journey gala has become a premiere event for our region. And while COVID-19 impacted our ability to unite together for an event, it did not impacted our ability to unite together for a cause. A Journey Like No Other, took on the top cancers impacting our region – lung, breast, prostate and colorectal cancer. Unite and celebrate our community and the lives saved through our collective involvement and acts of generosity.
2019 | Journey in Motion
A flurry of motion transcended upon FlexArm as more than 800 friends of our Foundation came together at Journey in Motion to fulfill an important community need – to bring the most advanced inpatient rehabilitation to our region. Thank you to the many individuals and businesses who made a motion to help our patients regain their motion.
2018 | Journey to the Red Carpet
More than 800 friends of the Lima Memorial Foundation walked the red carpet at our 17th annual Journey gala. An astounding $780,000 of the $2.5 million project was raised to support the transformation of inpatient rehabilitation for our region.
2017 | Journey for the Heart
A Masterpiece has come to life! More than 700 friends of the Lima Memorial Foundation went on a creative Journey for the Heart at Warehouse Associates LP. Guests enjoyed an evening full of artistic delights, including observing live artists and savoring a unique blend of food and drink while networking with friends. Thanks to outstanding participation in the fund-a-need and silent, live and art auctions, more than $700,000 was raised that will be directly invested into our heart program.
