CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF CHANGING MOMENTS THROUGH GIVING As we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Roper Xavier Society and philanthropy

helped us touch thousands of lives in our community.

SUMMER 2014
CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF LEADERSHIP It is with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to Susan
Keenan, Executive Director of the Roper St. Francis
Foundation. Since her marriage to Neel Keenan four
years ago, Susan has been commuting to and from
Columbia in order to continue her commitment to Roper
St. Francis. This summer she will be moving to Columbia
to be with her husband and family fulltime.
As Executive Director, Susan has led the revitalization of
the Foundation, including securing more than $50 million
in philanthropic support for Roper St. Francis. Under
Susan’s leadership, programs such as the Roper Xavier
Society, the Legacy Circle, Honor a Caregiver and Employee Giving Campaign
were launched to recognize the generosity of our donors and to provide ongoing
philanthropic support for Roper St. Francis. Now in its tenth year, the Roper
Xavier Society has grown to more than 600 members donating $1,000 or more
annually.
We extend our very best wishes and deepest gratitude to Susan for the positive
impact she has had on the Foundation and our healthcare system.
“It has been a pleasure working with our community to advance the mission
of Roper St. Francis through philanthropy. I look forward to seeing how the
generosity of our patients, friends and neighbors will continue to positively
impact Roper St. Francis for many years to come.” – Susan Keenan

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Celebrating a Legacy of Giving In April, the Foundation honored and celebrated the
Charter Members of the Legacy Circle at the home of
Pamela and David Dunlap. We are very grateful for this
special group of visionary Roper St. Francis leaders
who help us fulfill our mission of healing all people with
compassion, faith and excellence.
You Can Support our FutureBy becoming a member of the Legacy Circle, you
can help us impact the future of healthcare in our
community. The Legacy Circle recognizes many types of
donations, including bequests in your will or retirement
plan. A charitable gift annuity is another great way to
give back because it provides a source of income for
you and/or your family. It’s a win-win; while you will
receive guaranteed payments for life, you can also make a
difference in the lives of Roper St. Francis patients.
Sample annuity rates, charitable deduction and tax-free payment for a $25,000 Single Life Gift AnnuityRates are based upon age or ages of the annuitants.

Ray-Duck CupThe Roper St. Francis Foundation would like to thank Geoff
Hawes and the Ray-Duck Cup for their donation to Roper
St. Francis Cancer Care. The Ray-Duck Cup is an annual golf
tournament that raises money in memory of Chris Duckworth
and Geoff’s father, Raymond Hawes. “Dad was an amazing
man,” said Geoff Hawes. “Dr. Daud Nawabi at Roper St. Francis
was not only Dad’s doctor, but a close friend. The care Dad
received from everyone at Roper St. Francis was outstanding.”
A Gift of WellnessThanks to a generous donation from the Angelica Corporation, a new outdoor fitness
area has been added to the campus of Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital (BSSF).
Nestled in a shady area along the one mile walking trail on the east side of campus,
the fitness area offers 12 stations, including warm up and cool down stations,
designed to provide a full body workout. Helpful signs demonstrating how to use the
equipment and how to modify the exercises according to varying fitness levels are
located near each station.
“We are excited to have this fitness facility not only for our teammates but for
our community,” said Allen Carroll, CEO, BSSF. “Roper St. Francis believes that
exercising is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and we are grateful to the
Angelica Corporation for making this possible.”
