LIHUE, Hawaii (AP) — A Hawaii hospital has received a donation of $2.75 million toward its emergency department and trauma fundraising campaign.
Husband and wife Peter Stengaard and Jennifer Gross donated to the Wilcox Medical Center in Lihue, one of three hospitals on Kauai, The Garden Island reported Tuesday.
“A little goes a long way here. It’s critical to find spots where more money can amount to so much more than its initial worth,” said Stengaard, a part-time resident on the island.
The family is committed to investing in the community and supports humanitarian efforts, education and healthcare through their William, Jeff and Jennifer Gross Family Foundation, which donated $19.5 million in 2019 to 45 nonprofits worldwide, Stengaard said.
