DE<strong>AR</strong> FRIENDS:<br />
The world became a different place in the<br />
closing months of <strong>2008</strong>. Yet despite the<br />
challenges that accompany such change,<br />
<strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran Medical Foundation has<br />
many reasons to be grateful.<br />
DEDICATED DONORS: Individuals,<br />
businesses and other organizations upheld their<br />
tradition of generous philanthropic support for<br />
the Foundation’s mission. In fact, <strong>2008</strong> was a<br />
successful year for fundraising, with results that<br />
met or exceeded goals in nearly all areas. These<br />
extraordinary results speak volumes about the<br />
commitment and confidence of our benefactors.<br />
DEDICATED LEADERS: We deeply<br />
appreciate the many community members who<br />
participate in the work of the Foundation by<br />
volunteering their time and talent to serve on<br />
advisory boards and committees. At the Board<br />
level, treasurer and executive committee member<br />
Dirk L. Gasterland completed his distinguished<br />
service, while previous Board member C. Daniel<br />
Gelatt, PhD, returned for a new term.<br />
DEDICATED PURPOSE: In times of<br />
uncertainty, there is strength to be found in a<br />
clear, mission-driven strategy such as our<br />
Foundation’s. We will continue to be farsighted<br />
and focus on those same values that have<br />
served <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran so well for over a<br />
century. For us, the bottom line will always be<br />
good patient care.<br />
We feel privileged to be witness to the<br />
astonishing power of philanthropy, which provides<br />
a way for our communities to pull together in<br />
good times and in bad. It is an honor to dedicate<br />
this report to the friends and supporters of<br />
<strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran Medical Foundation, who<br />
make all our accomplishments possible.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Mark V. Connelly, MD<br />
Chairman of the Board<br />

<strong>2008</strong> DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS<br />
GOALS EXCEEDED: The Foundation’s<br />
development division surpassed its overall<br />
financial goal for the year ending December 31,<br />
<strong>2008</strong>. Total dollars raised were $4,753,482,<br />
which represents a 15 percent increase over<br />
calendar year 2007 and 116 percent of the<br />
goal for <strong>2008</strong>. Strong results in two key<br />
areas—estate gifts and major and planned<br />
gifts—led the way in a year of gratifying<br />
response from donors, despite a faltering<br />
economy. Six thousand three hundred and<br />
thirty six (6,336) individuals made a total of<br />
12,909 gifts during <strong>2008</strong>. Fifteen hundred of<br />
these benefactors were making their first gift<br />
to <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran Medical Foundation.<br />
MAJOR RESE<strong>AR</strong>CH GIFT: A $1 million<br />
gift from Dr. Jon and Betty Kabara, made in<br />
recognition of the strong tradition of research<br />
at <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran, will establish a new<br />
cancer research institute bearing their name.<br />
Dr. Kabara is a renowned biochemistry<br />
investigator in his own right; both he and his<br />
wife have experienced the loss of loved ones<br />
to cancer. At a fall press conference to<br />
formally announce their gift, the Kabaras<br />
expressed passionate commitment to<br />
sponsoring research directed toward specific<br />
aspects of cancer biology in the hopes of<br />
uncovering its cause and cure.<br />
PINK POWER: An estimated 3,700 walkers<br />
of all ages stepped out with family and friends<br />
for the <strong>2008</strong> Steppin’ Out in Pink walk in<br />
support of breast cancer research at the<br />
Norma J.Vinger Center for Breast Care.<br />
Record-breaking participation from the<br />
community—500 more walkers than the<br />
previous year—raised over $270,000 for the<br />
cause. Proceeds from this event are designated<br />
for the Foundation’s Norman L. Gillette, Jr.<br />
Cancer Research Fellowship endowment. The<br />
fourth annual Steppin’ Out in Pink event will<br />
take place on September 12, 2009.<br />
MILESTONE YE<strong>AR</strong>: Children’s Miracle<br />
Network ® , a service of <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran<br />
Medical Foundation, achieved a fundraising<br />
milestone in <strong>2008</strong> by surpassing $1 million in<br />
donations for the first time in their 22 year<br />
history at <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran. This success is a<br />
tribute to loyal national sponsors, and the many<br />
dedicated organizers of local events and grassroots<br />
fundraisers that take place year around in<br />
support of area children and their families. One<br />
dollar at a time, these generous donations make<br />
a real difference in addressing childhood medical<br />
issues throughout our service region.<br />
PILOT PROGRAM: To address a<br />
community-wide need for estate planning<br />
education, the Foundation’s board of directors<br />
approved a new program that offers<br />
complimentary, confidential estate planning<br />
services to Foundation benefactors. The firm of<br />
Thompson and Associates, based in Brentwood,<br />
Tennessee, has been retained for their wellorganized<br />
and thoughtful approach to helping<br />
couples and individuals develop estate plans<br />
customized to reflect personal values and<br />
objectives. In the long run, it is hoped that this<br />
type of planning assistance will encourage more<br />
community philanthropy overall.<br />
FOUNDATION OFFICES MOVE:<br />
<strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran Medical Foundation<br />
moved to a handsome new suite of offices on<br />
one of the busiest corridors in the medical<br />
center, i.e., the third floor between the main<br />
clinic and hospital. Completed last spring, the<br />
project presented a unique opportunity to<br />
bring personnel working within the<br />
Foundation’s mission—medical education,<br />
research, development, and administration—<br />
into a unified space for the first time.<br />

<strong>2008</strong> MEDICAL EDUCATION HIGHLIGHTS<br />
RESIDENT ENROLLMENT:<br />
In <strong>2008</strong>, the Foundation proudly celebrated<br />
the graduation of 29 residents and welcomed<br />
31 new residents to <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran.<br />
The seven residency programs and one<br />
fellowship program—Internal Medicine,<br />
General Surgery, Transitional Year, Oral and<br />
Maxillofacial Surgery, Podiatric Medicine and<br />
Surgery, Pharmacy Practice, Sports Medicine<br />
Physical Therapy, and Minimally Invasive<br />
Bariatric Surgery Fellowship—continue to<br />
attract a maximum enrollment of program<br />
participants.<br />
NEW CME STAND<strong>AR</strong>DS:<br />
In preparation for becoming the first<br />
healthcare organization in Wisconsin to be<br />
evaluated according to new accreditation<br />
standards for continuing medical education<br />
(CME), the Foundation completed a <strong>2008</strong><br />
self-study of our CME program. Evidence of<br />
a direct linkage between continuing medical<br />
education and assessment of practice<br />
performance goals is required under the<br />
new standards. Our successful site visit took<br />
place in January, 2009, earning program<br />
re-accreditation for another 4 years.<br />
ACCREDITATION SITE VISIT:<br />
<strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran’s oldest postgraduate<br />
medical education program, the Oral and<br />
Maxillofacial Surgery Residency, underwent its<br />
accreditation site visit in May <strong>2008</strong>, and<br />
earned re-accreditation for another five years.<br />
NATIONAL PA EXAMS:<br />
The UW-La Crosse/<strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran/<br />
Mayo Physician’s Assistant (PA) Training<br />
Program graduated its third Master’s level class<br />
in May, <strong>2008</strong>. For the fourth time, our<br />
graduates—as a group—scored above the<br />
90th percentile on the Physician Assistant<br />
National Certifying Examination, compared<br />
with the other 145 physician assistant training<br />
programs in the United States.<br />
RESIDENCY PERFORMANCE:<br />
For the sixth consecutive year, the Foundation’s<br />
internal medicine residents (as a group)<br />
scored above the 88th percentile on the <strong>2008</strong><br />
In-Training Examination, when compared with<br />
all other internal medicine residency programs<br />
across the United States. Further, over the last<br />
six years, our Internal Medicine Residency<br />
program graduates have achieved a board<br />
certification rate of 100 percent. Also in<br />
<strong>2008</strong>, the American Board of Surgery (ABS)<br />
announced that the <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran<br />
General Surgery Residency Program is one of<br />
eight (8) general surgery residency programs<br />
in the nation whose graduates have passed<br />
both the written and oral ABS examinations<br />
on their first attempt during the last six years.<br />
Over the past 14 years, all of our General<br />
Surgery Residency program graduates have<br />
passed both the written and oral ABS<br />
examinations on their first attempt.<br />
UNDERGRAD CLERKSHIPS:<br />
In the area of undergraduate medical education,<br />
<strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran Medical Foundation<br />
continues to strengthen our relationship with<br />
the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of<br />
Medicine and Public <strong>Health</strong> (UW-SMPH) by<br />
serving as the organization’s Western Academic<br />
Campus. In <strong>2008</strong>, <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran hosted<br />
147 third-year UW-SMPH medical students<br />
participating in anesthesiology, general surgery,<br />
internal medicine, pediatrics, and primary care<br />
“core clerkships.” These rotations continue to<br />
rank high compared to other clinical sites in the<br />
state—both in student satisfaction and also in<br />
student performance on the clerkship<br />
examinations. <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran physician<br />
Kyla Lee, MD, director of the internal medicine<br />
clerkship, was honored with a special teaching<br />
award by the UW-SMPH Class of <strong>2008</strong>.<br />

<strong>2008</strong> RESE<strong>AR</strong>CH HIGHLIGHTS<br />
MICROBIOLOGY RESE<strong>AR</strong>CH: The<br />
laboratory team led by Steve Callister, PhD<br />
maintained its reputation as a recognized<br />
leader in Lyme disease research, as well as in<br />
the development of molecular diagnostic<br />
testing for infectious diseases. In <strong>2008</strong>, their<br />
innovative work on a new generation canine<br />
Lyme disease vaccine resulted in a host of<br />
activity, including USDA release approvals, a<br />
patent application, and a formalized<br />
development agreement with a commercial<br />
company. Even further visibility was achieved<br />
through published research results, review<br />
articles, and keynote appearances at several<br />
national conferences.<br />
NEW LAB OPENS: A new cancer<br />
research laboratory, created to coordinate<br />
basic science cancer research with <strong>Gundersen</strong><br />
Lutheran’s Center for Cancer and Blood<br />
Disorders, opened in October under the<br />
direction of Carl Simon Shelley, DPhil.<br />
Dr. Shelley comes to <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran<br />
with more than 20 years of experience as a<br />
researcher at Harvard Medical School and has<br />
participated in numerous national and<br />
international research collaborations. Through<br />
his research, Dr. Shelley expects not only to<br />
better understand fundamental biologic<br />
principles, but also to identify new therapeutic<br />
targets that can be used in the fight against an<br />
array of pathologies.<br />
COLLABORATIVE RESE<strong>AR</strong>CH:<br />
Departmental staff supports research<br />
throughout the organization by providing<br />
assistance with study design, data collection,<br />
biostatistical analysis, and manuscript editing<br />
and preparation. Additional dedicated staff is<br />
provided for the departments of Surgery and<br />
Cardiology, the Norma J. Vinger Center for<br />
Breast Care and the Center for Cancer and<br />
Blood Disorders. Beyond <strong>Gundersen</strong><br />
Lutheran’s walls, collaborative research<br />
opportunities are pursued through consortia<br />
like the Wisconsin Network for <strong>Health</strong><br />
Research (WNHR).<br />
CLINICAL TRIAL SERVICES: An experienced<br />
clinical research staff, plus a committed and<br />
reliable patient population, are two reasons why<br />
pharmaceutical companies choose to conduct<br />
clinical trials at <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran. In <strong>2008</strong>, a<br />
total of 150 participants were enrolled in 25-30<br />
ongoing research studies of new medications,<br />
treatments and devices, helping researchers<br />
determine their safety and effectiveness.<br />
SUMMER RESE<strong>AR</strong>CH FELLOWS:<br />
This year the Foundation’s Department of<br />
Research hosted 14 college students selected<br />
for the A.C.V. Elston, III, MD Summer<br />
Research Fellows Program. These 13-week<br />
fellowships allow students to gain first-hand<br />
research experience through active involvement<br />
in an ongoing research project. Working<br />
alongside <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran mentors from<br />
a wide range of departments, summer fellows<br />
contribute to the body of science and medical<br />
information that improves clinical practice.<br />
Many are in the process of submitting the results<br />
of their studies for publication.<br />
PUBLICATION ACTIVITY: Foundationsponsored<br />
research, under the leadership of<br />
William Agger, MD, produced a broad range<br />
of research and scholarly activity in <strong>2008</strong>.<br />
Fifty-eight papers, two books and nine book<br />
chapters, and 62 online articles were<br />
published during the year. In addition,<br />
Foundation researchers reviewed manuscripts<br />
for a number of top-tier journals and made over<br />
100 local, state, national, and international<br />
presentations last year. A complete listing of<br />
the Foundation’s scholarly publication and<br />
presentation activities is available online at the<br />
Research Department’s website<br />
(gundluth.org/web/glmf/research) by clicking on<br />
the GLine Publications database.<br />

<strong>2008</strong> COMMUNITY HEALTH OUTREACH HIGHLIGHTS<br />
GRANT ACTIVITY: In <strong>2008</strong>, the<br />
Foundation made more than 750 grants<br />
totaling $1,300,150 through its two granting<br />
entities: the Children’s Miracle Network ®<br />
Trustees’ Committee and the Grant<br />
Allocations Committee. Through educational<br />
programs, health screenings, wellness<br />
partnerships, and other hands-on interaction,<br />
these efforts reach thousands of high-risk<br />
individuals and members of underserved<br />
communities within the <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran<br />
service area.<br />
HEALTH LITERACY<br />
COLLABORATION: When important<br />
health care information is communicated using<br />
medical jargon and unclear language that<br />
exceeds a person’s literacy skills, unsafe care<br />
and unnecessary costs can be the result. To<br />
raise awareness of health literacy problems,<br />
<strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran and the La Crosse Area<br />
Community Literacy Coalition launched a joint<br />
regional education and information project.<br />
This collaboration, Great Rivers Partners for<br />
<strong>Health</strong>-e People, is funded by the Foundation<br />
and additional grants from the National<br />
Library of Medicine and the Southwest<br />
Wisconsin Area <strong>Health</strong> Education Center.<br />
The project has already drawn queries from<br />
healthcare organizations nationally for its<br />
impact on treatment outcomes, patient safety<br />
and satisfaction.<br />
MEANINGFUL VOLUNTEERISM:<br />
With the help of grants from the Foundation<br />
and other community organizations in <strong>2008</strong>,<br />
the Hillview Greenhouse Life Center was<br />
converted from a commercial business to a<br />
non-profit organization with the unique goal<br />
of providing meaningful experiences for older<br />
people in the La Crosse and surrounding<br />
community. The Hillview Greenhouse Life<br />
Center grows organic produce year-round<br />
that is sold through area food cooperatives<br />
and restaurants. Every day, 10 to 12 older<br />
adult volunteers spend their time working in<br />
the greenhouse, giving them a sense of<br />
purpose and community.<br />
PREVENTING CHILDHOOD INJURY:<br />
Two preventable causes of childhood injury<br />
were the focus of a community workshop<br />
series sponsored by the Foundation and Family<br />
Resources, Inc., in <strong>2008</strong>. Over 200 area child<br />
care providers and new parents received<br />
comprehensive training in the prevention of<br />
Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) and Sudden<br />
Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) with the goal of<br />
reducing occurrences through education.<br />
MUSIC THERAPY PROJECT: A growing<br />
base of published research extols the positive<br />
results of music therapy on the human body<br />
and mind. Research has explored music<br />
therapy’s effect on cognitive and behavioral<br />
disorders in young children; another area that<br />
has received attention is lifestyle changes that<br />
impact seniors. In <strong>2008</strong>, a Foundation grant<br />
helped initiate a pilot project to study the<br />
effectiveness of music therapy in coordination<br />
with cancer and end-of-life care at <strong>Gundersen</strong><br />
Lutheran. The music therapy program offers<br />
family centered care for children, adolescents<br />
and adults being treated in the Cancer and<br />
Blood Disorders Center and the <strong>Gundersen</strong><br />
At Home - Hospice Program.<br />
SAFE HAVEN CREATED: Until recently,<br />
persons living with mental illness in La Crosse<br />
County lacked a place that offered integrated<br />
social recreational programs or facilities to meet,<br />
develop a support system, or work on common<br />
issues. Grant support from the Foundation<br />
helped launch the Recovery Avenue (RAVE),<br />
a drop in center operated by Independent<br />
Living Resources, Inc., to provide a safe and<br />
comfortable place that meets the needs of<br />
this population.<br />
FACING PAGE:<br />
1) The new music therapy program has been<br />
well-received by patients.<br />
2) Ongoing support for the St. Clare <strong>Health</strong> Mission<br />
provides free basic medical care for the poor and<br />
uninsured.<br />
3) Dr. Tom Klemond and Dr. A. Erik <strong>Gundersen</strong> at<br />
the Hillview Greenhouse Life Center.<br />
4) Foundation grants support bike helmet safety programs<br />
in communities throughout our service region.<br />
5) Promoting health literacy helps patients make<br />
appropriate decisions and better follow instructions<br />
for treatment.<br />
6) Teddy Bear Clinics teach children what to expect<br />
when they visit the doctor.<br />

BEREAVEMENT & ADVANCE C<strong>AR</strong>E PLANNING SERVICES<br />
ONLINE LE<strong>AR</strong>NING: New technology<br />
made it possible for the department to deliver<br />
Respecting Choices ® learning online for the<br />
first full year in <strong>2008</strong>. The blended approach,<br />
combining online education with face-to-face<br />
presentations, is state-of-the-art. The enhanced<br />
technology exceeded expectations by attracting<br />
926 online learners this year alone.<br />
RESE<strong>AR</strong>CH FOCUS: In <strong>2008</strong>, Bernard<br />
(Bud) Hammes, PhD, and Linda Briggs, MS, MA,<br />
RN took part in six research projects that will<br />
result in significant findings being reported in the<br />
literature in 2009 or 2010. The department is<br />
also sponsoring three bereavement-related<br />
research projects, with Rana Limbo, PhD, RN,<br />
CNS-BC, as principal investigator.<br />
NEW COURSE OFFERINGS: The team<br />
designed and implemented two new Respecting<br />
Choices advance care planning courses, Disease<br />
Specific Patient-Centered Advance Care<br />
Planning (DS-PCACP) and Physician Order for<br />
Life-sustaining Treatment (POLST). Each is<br />
expected to meet an important need for<br />
learners in the years to come. <strong>Gundersen</strong><br />
Lutheran staff involved with Connected Care<br />
participated in DS-PCACP training and are now<br />
incorporating these skills into their practice.<br />
EDUCATION P<strong>AR</strong>TNERING: In<br />
cooperation with the Wisconsin Stillbirth<br />
Service Program at the University of Wisconsin-<br />
Madison, the department developed perinatal<br />
bereavement education specifically for genetic<br />
counseling students. It was presented twice in<br />
<strong>2008</strong>: once in Madison with participants from<br />
three regional universities (Universities of<br />
Wisconsin and Minnesota, Northwestern) and<br />
again in Boston for students from Boston<br />
University, Sarah Lawrence College, Brandeis<br />
University, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, and<br />
Arcadia University.<br />
AVENUES FOR GIVING<br />
There are many ways for you to support the work and mission of <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran Medical Foundation. Gifts may be designated for the Foundation’s<br />
endowment funds or to benefit a specific program area of your choosing. Please call the Development office at (608) 775-6600 for more information.<br />
CASH GIFTS: A gift of cash is the simplest<br />
way to support the Foundation. Cash contributions<br />
in any amount, at any time, including gifts for<br />
memorials, tributes and the annual fund (Heritage<br />
Society), are fully tax-deductible for federal income<br />
tax purposes. A self-addressed stamped envelope<br />
is enclosed for your convenience.<br />
REAL ESTATE: Gifts of appreciated real<br />
estate are like gifts of appreciated securities.<br />
When property has been owned for more than<br />
one year, the fair market value may be deducted<br />
as a charitable contribution while avoiding capital<br />
gains taxes. Certain arrangements can allow you<br />
to live in or use the property for the rest of your<br />
life, or the joint lives of you and your spouse,<br />
before passing the asset on to the Foundation<br />
through a life estate agreement.<br />
SECURITIES: When you transfer<br />
appreciated stocks or bonds to the Foundation,<br />
you can avoid capital gains tax and secure an<br />
income tax deduction for the security’s full fair<br />
market value. This offers an excellent<br />
opportunity to make larger gifts than you ever<br />
thought possible, particularly when gifting highly<br />
appreciated securities with a very low cost basis.<br />
BEQUESTS: You may easily create a legacy<br />
of generosity by leaving a portion of your estate<br />
to the Foundation through your will or from<br />
your living trust. This includes gifts of cash, stock,<br />
property, real estate, or a gift of the residue and<br />
remainder of your estate when other bequests<br />
have been fulfilled. Your gift becomes a part of<br />
the Foundation at the time your will is probated,<br />
and your estate will qualify for a federal estate<br />
tax charitable deduction.<br />
10<br />
CH<strong>AR</strong>ITABLE TRUSTS & ANNUITIES:<br />
Lifetime charitable trusts and gift annuities are<br />
versatile gift options available to meet individual<br />
circumstances and needs. Often they can<br />
provide an increased income stream for you<br />
and others you designate, have beneficial tax<br />
advantages, and significantly help the Foundation.<br />
With your personal, financial and charitable<br />
goals in mind, our Foundation staff will work<br />
with you and your advisors in structuring a gift<br />
of maximum benefit to you.<br />
LIFE INSURANCE: Life insurance policies<br />
can be given in several different ways. Donors<br />
may designate the Foundation as a beneficiary<br />
or an owner of the policy. There are special tax<br />
advantages for the gifting of an existing policy,<br />
a paid-up policy or a newly purchased policy.
<strong>2008</strong> FINANCIAL SUMM<strong>AR</strong>Y<br />
<strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran Medical Foundation exists to enhance and support quality healthcare by emphasizing the three areas within our mission: medical<br />
education and health/wellness education, clinically based research, and community health outreach. The success of <strong>2008</strong> is a tribute to the dedicated efforts<br />
of <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran healthcare professionals, whose expert and highly-personalized approach to patient care inspires benefactors to support this mission.<br />
Generous support from donors made <strong>2008</strong> a year of progress and accomplishment.<br />
ENDOWMENT FUND 2004-<strong>2008</strong>:<br />
At the close of <strong>2008</strong>, the Foundation’s<br />
endowment fund had decreased slightly due to<br />
negative investment returns. Growth in donor<br />
restricted endowment gifts was a result of a<br />
major gift for oncology research and funds<br />
raised from the <strong>2008</strong> Steppin’ Out in Pink walk<br />
in support of the Norman L. Gillette, Jr. Cancer<br />

The Foundation, like many other charities,<br />
experienced large investment losses during<br />
<strong>2008</strong>. We are pleased to report that despite<br />
these tough economic times, giving to the<br />
Foundation remained strong. The Foundation<br />
received close to $5 million in philanthropic<br />
contributions in <strong>2008</strong>. Endowment and estate<br />

PURPOSES OF PHILANTHROPIC<br />
CONTRIBUTIONS - $5 MILLION:<br />
Many grateful patients choose to make a gift for<br />
a specific purpose to help maintain the high<br />
quality of care they received at <strong>Gundersen</strong><br />
Lutheran. In <strong>2008</strong>, the Foundation received a<br />
record amount of contributions in support of<br />
the Children’s Miracle Network ® . The<br />
Foundation also had a record breaking year for<br />
endowment contributions given for medical<br />
research. Other donors prefer the flexibility of<br />
unrestricted gifts, which allows the Foundation to<br />

<strong>2008</strong> DONOR RECOGNITION<br />
A YE<strong>AR</strong> FOR DOING THINGS<br />
DIFFERENTLY: <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran<br />
Medical Foundation is not immune to<br />
Wall Street’s woes. Like other charitable<br />
organizations throughout the country,<br />
we will be facing many challenges in the<br />
months ahead due to the downturn in<br />
financial markets. Prudent stewardship of<br />
our resources is more important than ever<br />
before. In preparing this annual report to<br />
our friends and supporters, we recognized<br />
that going lean and digital makes sense from<br />
both a fiscal and environmental perspective.<br />
LESS PAPER. LESS INK: By choosing<br />
to limit the list of names that appears<br />
in our printed report, we are able to<br />
conserve on both paper and printing<br />
expense. Every operational dollar we save<br />
is good news for the priority program<br />
areas relating to our mission. Equally<br />
good news is that every Foundation<br />
donor will still be recognized.<br />
PROFOUND GRATITUDE,<br />
ALWAYS: While economic conditions<br />
may alter the way we produce our annual<br />
report, they do not affect our overall<br />
mission or the profound appreciation we<br />
have for our friends and benefactors. In<br />
addition to the donors listed here and<br />
online, there are countless members of<br />
our community who invest their time and<br />
talent in the work of the Foundation<br />
through volunteerism. We thank you all<br />
for your generosity in <strong>2008</strong>.<br />
MORE VISIBILITY. MORE<br />
ACCESSIBILITY: This year, a complete<br />
list of donors to <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran<br />
Medical Foundation can be found at our<br />
website: www.gundluth.org/foundation/.<br />
To reduce the scope of our printed recognition<br />
lists, this year we are publishing five<br />
of these categories exclusively in electronic<br />
format, available for online viewing by<br />
anyone at any time. They are: Friends level<br />
donors to the Heritage Society; those<br />
remembered by Memorial and Honorarium<br />
gifts; donors of Gifts-in-Kind; and Children’s<br />
Miracle Network ® Partners.
LEGACY SOCIETY: A legacy gift ensures your support of quality healthcare at<br />
<strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran continues beyond your lifetime. Members of the Legacy Society<br />
have chosen to remember the Foundation in their estate plans, creating a meaningful and<br />
personal way to support medical education, research and community health outreach<br />
efforts into the future. Whether gifts are created through a will, trust, life insurance or life<br />
income program, we work thoughtfully with each donor to ensure their planned giving<br />
intentions are fully realized.<br />

a codicil, which is an amendment to an existing will. To make<br />
such a bequest, your will or codicil might state: “I give and<br />
bequeath to <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran Medical Foundation of<br />
La Crosse, Wis., a tax-exempt organization under Section<br />
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code, _______% for<br />
its general uses and purposes.” We would love to talk with you<br />
about your intended gift so we understand your vision and<br />
provide the best possible stewardship.
FOUNDERS SOCIETY: The Founders Society recognizes cumulative giving at five<br />
benchmark levels. The extraordinary generosity of these donors takes many forms. Some have<br />
supported <strong>Gundersen</strong> Lutheran Medical Foundation with a steady, strong history of giving that<br />
extends over many years. Others support the Foundation through a large singular gift. In every<br />
case, these individuals and organizations have distinguished themselves as true cornerstones of<br />
the Foundation.<br />
