Rock the Block Fundraiser
Our fifth annual fundraiser event is planned for Friday, August 8, 2025, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at the Meadowbrook Country Club in Sumner. Our theme this year is "Rock the Block". We are planning music from country artist Jake McVey, drink tastings, food, and 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 for three defibrillators. Defibrillators are life saving devices. Defibrillators are designed to monitor for life threatening heart rhythms, provide a temporary pacemaker or shock a heart out of a fatal heart rhythm. Defibrillators are crucial to the care our patients require.
About Our Entertainment-
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."
