Recipients for 2023 included telehealth programs for Forsyth and Kirbyville Schools, Mental Health Programs for both Stone and Taney County Schools, and Healthy Lifestyles Programs through the Branson-Hollister Senior Center. Over $1.1 million in Grants were awarded for the coming year.

Meanwhile, the Foundation also has the Knot-Forgotten Bows Christmas Tree up at the Cox Branson Outpatient Center, a fundraiser for those wanting to honor friends and loved ones as well as the annual Fall Baazar happening this Friday at the Outpatient Center from 7 am until 5 pm.
