RAVE TO SAVE ROCKS DOWNTOWN BEAUMONT!
The Wilton P. Hebert Health and Wellness Center (HWC) presented the 5th annual Zumba party “Rave to Save”. Participants burned calories while dancing the day
away during a three-hour dance party on Saturday, Sept. 13 at The Gig on Crockett Street. 50% of participant fees were donated to CHRISTUS Health Foundation
Southeast Texas to support the fight against breast cancer.
Rave to Save offered something for everyone. Many of the dances are multi-level, allowing dancers of any ability to participate. This energetic, heart pumping event
featured the HWC Zumba Crew and other area Zumba instructors. Additionally, iRule Dance Companies performed multiple pieces featuring dancers from age 5 to
17. Thanks to all the dancers and instructors who came out to support the Foundation!
The day that we have been waiting for is almost here! Giving Tuesday is December 2nd. We hope that those in the hospital made your Christmas list. The holidays can be a
lonely time for those that are sick or injured. Please help us help them! There are many ways to help:
Make a donation on-line at christushealthfoundationsetx.org • Volunteer your time at the hospital or helping at a Foundation/Children’s Miracle Network event.
Say a prayer for the sick. • Finish your shopping list and let family or friends know how much they mean to you with a gift in their honor.
Take a moment to visit our website, like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, or join our group on LinkedIn. Our Christmas wish is a 1000 likes!
Take a few moments to start researching how to leave a legacy by visiting our planned giving page on the website.

Cheer for the Holidays: Offering Honor through Charity
Tribute and Memorial Gifts
Each year the approach of the holiday season draws us near to family and friends, and sets in our hearts
a desire to share our blessings and cheer. For many of us, it is also a time when we cherish the memory
of those loved ones with whom we cannot celebrate the holidays. This year, you may want to consider a
Tribute or Memorial Gift as a way to honor or create a lasting tribute to a loved one.
Tribute and Memorial Gifts…
• offer a chance to connect a family or loved one’s name with a project or ministry that spans many generations at CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System, thus affirming the longstanding respect and admiration you maintain for that individual, or the personal beliefs and priorities upheld by your family.
• support the ongoing ministry of CHRISTUS Health, to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, by
providing for specific patient care units, specialized medical and technical equipment, and other hospital
improvements.
• can be made in a variety of forms of the donor’s choice, including cash, securities, real estate, life
insurance, retirement plan, or other assets, and can be an outright or deferred donation under the donor’s
