Our Giving Stories
Supported organizations become an integral part of the beautiful wellness narrative that is woven by Curry Health Foundation.
We began our journey from a foundation focused on supporting the local health network and the hospital, and over time, we have grown to see the expanding health care needs of our amazing county along the southern Oregon coast.
We take great pride in collaborating with Curry’s dedicated nonprofit organizations that share a deep, genuine concern for the health and vitality of all age groups and diverse demographics within our community.
A big shout out to the Curry Health Foundation for their incredible support in upgrading the equipment at the Brookings pool through our organization, South Coast Community Aquatics.
Their generous contributions make a real difference in creating a safe and healthy environment for all—youth and adults—to learn and enjoy the water.
It’s fantastic to see essential safety items like lifeguard rescue boards, AEDs, and lifesaving tubes being put to good use.
Plus, ensuring kids have properly fitting life jackets is vital for their safety and comfort while swimming.
Thank you for prioritizing the well-being of our community!
— South Coast Community Aquatics | Val Early | President
