St.Vincent Health built a team of 100 associates to compete against many other corporations in 17 athletic events, including distance runs, shorter sprints, a fitness walk, and field activities (called “Good Sport Events”), such as basketball shootout, football throw for accuracy, golf chipping challenge, and soccer shootout, to name a few. Also there was a 6-mile cycling time trial, bowling, cornhole challenge and sand volleyball That means there were many opportunities to demonstrate your athletic talent, meet new St.Vincent associates and team members, and have a great time!
For those associates or team members who weren’t interested in competing athletically, the 2012 ISC Corporate Challenge included a charity portion competition where Team St.Vincent Health received points based on how much was donated to local charities, including Gleaners Food Bank and the Indiana Sports Corporation’s Geared for Health: Sports Equipment for Kids program.

2011 Key to the Cure: A Recap_Video
On October 15, 2011, the St.Vincent Foundation and Saks Fifth Avenue hosted the fifth annual Key To The Cure event.
Part of a nationwide Saks Fifth Avenue fundraising initiative to raise funds for cancer treatment and research, proceeds from the event benefit St.Vincent Cancer Care. This year, Jennifer Hudson served as the 2011 national Key to the Cure ambassador, while Elie Tahari designed the limited edition t-shirt.
Key to the cure has been called “one of the city’s fanciest fashion parties,” by the Indianapolis Star, and it certainly was a swanky affair this year, with models strutting their stuff down a catwalk elevated above dinner tables. However, what made the event truly special is how it honored cancer survivors.

Traci Runge: Woman of Hope_Video
This year, St.Vincent has launched a new initiative called Women of Hope. The idea behind it is simple: Ordinary people rallying behind the fight against cancer, raising money, hope and awareness, all to support cancer patients and families through survivor initiatives and programs.
Traci Runge is a shining example of the kind of person Women of Hope exists to support. A mother of three, Traci was diagnosed with triple-positive invasive breast cancer last April. She was treated at St.Vincent Cancer Care, finished chemotherapy last month, and is now participating in the survivorship programs Women of Hope helps fund. Traci also had the support of a patient navigator throughout her treatment at St.Vincent — another program supported by Women of Hope.

Henry’s Story of Hope | Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital Telethon
Henry Wooten’s parents expected their three-year-old’s ER visit to result in a routine prescription for an infection. Instead, they were told their son had leukemia – and an especially aggressive type known as AML. Henry’s condition quickly declined in a domino effect of bodily systems shutting down, including lungs, liver, kidneys and finally, his heart. Fortunately for Henry, he was being treated at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent, one of the few medical centers in the state with access to ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), an advanced form of life support technology that acts as a heart/lung bypass to let major organ systems rest while the body recovers. Watch Henry’s Story of Hope. If you would like to donate to support Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent, visit PeytonTelethon.com.
