Sturdy Memorial Advises Community to Beware of Unauthorized Solicitation

Sturdy Memorial Hospital does not endorse or allow any company, organization, magazine or other publication to use the Hospital's name in direct or telephone solicitation.

With the holidays approaching, this annual warning is issued by the Sturdy Memorial Foundation, Inc., the Hospital's parent organization, which is solely
responsible for Sturdy Memorial's fundraising efforts.

"Anyone who uses the Hospital's name while attempting to solicit donations or gifts does so without authorization,” says William Florentino, Chief Marketing & Development Officer." “Those wishing to support Sturdy during the holiday season are encouraged to call the Sturdy Development Office at 508.236.8008 or make a donation online at www.sturdymemorial.org. There are many worthy causes who deserve your charity, and unfortunately there is a lot of fraud perpetrated using the phone. Do your research before committing to a donation over the phone.”
