Watch Bloomsday with Empire Health Foundation

May 2 is Bloomsday in Spokane, and Empire Health Foundation would like to offer its newly renovated Philanthropy Center as a resource for rural community members traveling to Spokane for the event.

Empire Health Foundation is a private health conversion foundation in Spokane that formed as a result of the 2008 sale of Empire Health Services. With approximately $80 million in philanthropic funds under our stewardship, we strive to transform Eastern Washington into the state’s healthiest region. We serve the following seven counties: Adams, Ferry, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Stevens, and Whitman.

The Philanthropy Center is located at 1020 W. Riverside Ave., along the first mile of the course. We have ample space, including a covered porch area where folks can gather and cheer on racers. Additionally, Foundation staff will offer a free bag check-in.

If you have any suggestions as to how we might best use the space for our rural community members for this event, please contact Erica Hallock, Director of Government Relations and Communications, at [email protected]. We hope that you will be able to take advantage of this new community resource.
