For more than 150 years, Wells Fargo team members have been dedicated volunteers in their own communities. After reviewing nearly 500 nominations from around the country for more than three months, Donald Blume was selected by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to receive one of the 2008 Wells Fargo Volunteer Service Awards. Blume is the head of the scholarship committee and the finance committee for the hospital foundation. He also serves on the hospital foundation board of directors. He actively donates his time and energies to help make the hospital a better place for our community by monitoring grants to the hospital for capital needs projects, equipment purchases, and scholarship funding and selection procedures. Through gifts such as these, the Rush Memorial Hospital Foundation has been able to grant $355,106 in cash to the hospital since the first gift in December of 2006. Without volunteers like Blume and corporations that believe in being locally involved, many projects would not be possible at the hospital.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Investments’ cumulative giving since 2005 to the Rush Memorial Hospital Foundation is more than $45,000. Thank you to the staff at Wells Fargo Rushville, especially Terry Smith and Bruce Everhart, for nominating Blume, and to Blume for helping make these gifts a reality.

Blume resides in Rush County with his wife Jill and their two small boys. His mother is the late Alice Alexander Blume and his grandfather is Joe Alexander, longtime Rush County resident.

Feel free to congratulate Blume with a handshake the next time you see him, on behalf of the citizens of Rush County as he, like many, is an unpaid volunteer, serving his community because he believes in the hospital.

Rush Memorial Hospital Foundation is a 501c3 not for profit organization, accepting gifts large and small to fund the needs of the hospital, for building projects, equipment, and medical scholarships.
