Members of the Effingham New Car Dealers Association together donated $15,000 to the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Foundation to benefit the SBL Specialty Pavilion, now under construction
at 905 North Maple Street. Sarah Bush Lincoln now has more than 60 clinics across the region.
Those contributing include the dealerships of Dan Hecht, Goeckner Brothers, Northside, Roy Schmidt and Russ Braunecker.
“We’re so appreciative that these dealerships are partnering with us as we continue expanding care to residents in and around the Effingham community,” said Kim Uphoff, Sarah Bush Lincoln President and CEO. “We remain incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from individuals and businesses who are an integral part of this project.”
