The Vulcan Regional Hospital fell short on the number of votes they needed to secure an Aviva Community Fund grant for either $50,000 or $100,000.

But Leslie Warren, the Fundraising Coordinator with the Vulcan County Health Care Foundation says they still made out OK at their gala On Saturday, November 5.

"The last I heard was we had raised around $114,000. We have some really great support from the community and we're just really happy with how things turned out on Saturday."

The money they made will be matched dollar for dollar from the Town and County of Vulcan pushing the total closer to $340,000.
