VOLUNTEERS AND DONORS IN THE SPOTLIGHT four friends and fundraisers 1lifelong support To say that DT Doan is an avid supporter of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland would be an understatement. Over the course of the last 20- some years, the Des Moines businessman has supported PP Heartland in just about every way a person can, serving on various boards and committees, often as chair, and as a volunteer and donor. “The mission of Planned Parenthood is outstanding,” DT said. “Delivering affordable health care to underprivileged people is a very admiral mission. That’s what led me to get involved.” And it’s that mission, as well as the people behind it, that have kept DT involved all these years. “One of the things about PP Heartland that has always struck me is the commitment and dedication of everyone I’ve worked with over the years. Everyone is very passionate about what they do. Once you’re involved, it’s hard not to get caught up in it.” share your story Has Planned Parenthood impacted your life? Are you a dedicated volunteer with good news to share? We want to hear from you! E-mail your story to: sharemystory@ ppheartland.org 4 guest of honor Red Oak Auction was another huge success! The donations from the event in October totaled $7428. Pictured below with President and CEO Jill June is this year’s guest of honor, Helen Murphy, who’s a long-time PP Heartland supporter. And a big thanks to the family of Jean Shields, who donated $3,000 in her honor. access matters Ruth Thompson knows the importance of access to reproductive health care. As a patient escort for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, she sees it often. Ruth’s been volunteering for the last 3 ½ years, but her history with Planned Parenthood and barriers to access began long before that. “As a young woman, I needed Planned Parenthood’s abortion services, and I used them. But at that time, I had to fly all the way from Lincoln to New York City to access those services,” Ruth said. “Now they’re available three blocks from where I grew up. I want to make sure that it stays that way.” In addition to escorting patients, Ruth also hosts an annual “friendraiser”, called Picnic on the Prairie, at her home just outside of Lincoln. Last year’s picnic drew 120 people, and brought in about $3,000, helping ensure 2 no one will ever have to fly cross country for reproductive health care again. on the books 3 PP Heartland raised $211,393.26 this year, beating last fall’s sale total by nearly $10,000! Proceeds from the sale go to support PP Heartland’s Education and Outreach Department which provides medically accurate, age-appropriate health and sexuality education programs to groups and individuals throughout the states of Iowa and Nebraska. Hats off to all of the fabulous volunteers for making this year’s sale a hit. The Spring Sale is set for March 25-29. Hope to see you there! THE SOURCE fall 2009 7
