“Just one person” is where the philanthropy journey begins. As each
of us walks our own path, we meet other donors who join us, “…and
then another, and another…” All of us, doing just one thing…giving…
and changing so many lives in our community.

During the last week of his life,
Ron Mahany told his wife Pam,
“Be sure to send thank-you cards
to my nurses.” Remembering
those words nearly 12 years later,
Pam says, “Ron was always thinking of others.”
Ron’s caring nature was evident
when, despite the fact that he
was dying, he made it a priority to establish a memorial fund.
“Ron was very grateful to his
team at St. Luke’s Physical Rehabilitation Division,” says Ron’s
sister, Linda Neilsen. “It was important to Ron to stay mobile as
long as possible.” Ron’s physical
therapists helped him strengthen
Pictured above left to right: Linda Neilsen,
Pam Mahany, and Gene Mahany.
his muscles and offered encouragement. “Ron looked forward to
physical therapy,” says his father,
Gene. “It was hard work but he
enjoyed going.”
Ron would be pleased to know
his memorial fund also helped his
family. “It gave us something to
do, something to focus on after
Ron’s death,” says Pam. She and
Gene met with St. Luke’s Foundation staff to work out the details
of Ron’s memorial fund. “They
suggested an endowment, which
allows us to spend the interest
without touching the principal,”
says Gene. “You don’t need a
million dollars to start an endowment. We did it with $20,000
from family and friends.”
The Ronald L. Mahany Award
is presented annually to three
associates of St. Luke’s Physical
Rehabilitation Division who are
nominated by coworkers and
selected by a committee of
hospital employees. Ron’s family
attends the awards ceremony each
fall and enjoys meeting the recipients, who use their $750 stipend
to attend continuing education
programs. Susan Klopfenstein, a
2013 winner, attended a workshop
on language growth in autistic
preschool children. “I am very
thankful to use these funds for such
an amazing workshop,” she says.
Says Pam, “Ron’s caring presence
continues today through his award.”

Just one company
Tallgrass Business Resources –
a local office furniture, interior
design and office supply company – believes in supporting
the community where they do
business. The company was
formed in June 2011 when thirdgeneration owners John and
Phil Wasta of Pioneer Workspace
Solutions in Cedar Rapids and
Dave and Doug Parsons of
Frohwein Office Supply in
Coralville decided to merge.
Tallgrass has donated to St. Luke’s
Foundation’s General Fund in
2012 and 2013 and foresees donating to that fund in the future.
“St. Luke’s Hospital plays a critical
role in the Cedar Rapids health
care community,” says Phil Wasta.
“The hospital is also a key player
in Eastern Iowa’s regional health
care presence.”
While Wasta and his partners
appreciate the hospital’s quality
care, they are equally impressed
with St. Luke’s proactive work
to make Cedar Rapids healthier.
“By supporting the Foundation,
we’re supporting the community
outreach efforts of St. Luke’s in
addition to bricks and mortar,”
says Phil. “St. Luke’s programs
on diabetes prevention and
smoking cessation address many
of the issues that put people in
the hospital. The hospital shares
its expertise to help people live
healthier lives.”
Above: Brothers John Wasta and Phil Wasta of Tallgrass pose in front of the Lifeguard
helicopter their company’s gifts help support
St. Luke’s has been the Wasta
family’s hospital “forever,” says
Phil. “I became more aware of
how the hospital serves the
community when my mom was
on the hospital auxiliary board
several years ago.” Many of
St. Luke’s services came as a surprise to Phil. “Since I had never
used some of their services, like
the Child Protection Center, I
wasn’t aware of all the needs
that were being met.”
When it comes to the entities
that give to non-profits in Cedar
Rapids, Tallgrass is a small player,
explains Phil. “But when enough
small players contribute, their
combined resources make a
significant impact.”
