Rock the Block Fundraiser

Featuring Country Star Jake McVey

 We're happy to announce that our annual fundraiser is planned for Friday, August 8, 2025,  at the Meadowbrook Country Club in Sumner. We are planning drink tastings, food, music from country artist Jake McVey, and the silent auction.

Friends of CMH is the 501(c)(3) charitable arm for Community Memorial Hospital – UnityPoint Health, a non-profit rural hospital located in Sumner.  We receive no municipal or city stipends and run strictly on community support.  

This year, we are raising funds to purchase defibrillators.  Defibrillators are all about saving lives. An AED is a lightweight, portable device designed to deliver an electric shock to someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). That electric shock can restore a normal heart rhythm when every second counts.  

Jake McVey is a compelling performer who combines his upbeat music and a youthful enthusiasm with a seasoned eye for reading a crowd, McVey gives his all at every show. "It's all about entertaining the fans and showing each and every person in the room a good time." He's shared the stage with some of country's most acclaimed acts including, Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Little Big Town, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley. 

McVey has come a long way but hasn't forgot where he came from "I'm a good Iowa boy who likes to work hard" he says with a grin. "I was brought up with a great work ethic. I was raised that when the sun is shining, it's time to make hay. That's just who I am. I love what I do."
