GIVING BACK

The Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo proudly supports charitable organizations through an annual onsite raffle that brings the HFSE community together to give back. Since launching this initiative in 2006, what began as a small fundraising effort has grown into a meaningful tradition—raising more than $235,000 for nonprofit organizations across the country. Attendees participate by purchasing raffle tickets for the chance to win sought‑after prizes such as Kate Spade handbags, Apple products, KitchenAid mixers, and Amazon gift cards, with proceeds directly benefiting the selected charity each year. This ongoing commitment reflects HFSE’s dedication to community impact and social responsibility within our communities.
