I give because I believe in the missions of SwedishAmerican Health Foundation and our health system . . . every little bit helps. My donations aren’t going to build giant buildings, but they have the potential to make someone’s stay at our hospital better.”

SwedishAmerican Health Foundation is thrilled to announce a $3,351 donation from Victory Pickleball, raised during the first-ever Dink for Pink fundraiser!
This event brought together players, sponsors and supporters to rally for local breast cancer care provided by UW Health in northern Illinois. From challenge games to pink bingo, the day was filled with community, fun and purpose — all wrapped in pink!
On April 17, Victory Pickleball proudly presented the check to our Foundation, helping ensure high-quality care and support services remain accessible for local patients and survivors.
Together, we’re making a difference! Community-driven events like Dink for Pink are what make our work possible. We are incredibly grateful for the support and generosity shown by Victory Pickleball and everyone who participated. ... See MoreSee Less
