Community
Who We Support
Because you asked, the Lake Chelan Health & Wellness Foundation will never stop supporting wellness activities and initiatives that make the Lake Chelan Valley a healthier community. We do this through partnerships with non-profit health-related organizations – some of those partnerships are featured in the links to the right.
Endowment Funding & Scholarship Criteria.
Learn about The Bragg Scholarship & Continuing Education Endowment Fund and details about scholarship criteria.
Graduating Senior Scholarships
We’re helping secure the health of our community by providing scholarships to graduating students pursuing a college degree in healthcare. If that’s you, you may be eligible! Scholarships vary in amount, depending on criteria such as full or part-time status and the number of years a student has studied in a healthcare field. Scholarship assistance can be requested year over year. A scholarship committee made up of members of the Foundation Board of Directors considers applicants.

Request for Special Funding
Special Funding is a request for funding not available anywhere else but will help to bring an item or program to a group or individual. We have been privileged in the past to help with funding for the Audiometer for Manson School District, Gift Certificates for kids in the EMS program – “I Caught You” which catches kids wearing their bike helmets while out riding their bikes, Senior Center Yoga classes and our Community Nurse program.

Youth
You’re never too young to make healthy choices!
Foundation helps children in our area get the tools they need to make those choices. We do that through supporting programs like Girls on the Run, in-class educational sessions, family programming and scholarships for students looking to pursue careers in the wellness professions.
Girls on the Run
As part of its mission and commitment to wellness initiatives, LCHWF has helped to support Girls on the Run of Columbia Valley for many years. LCHWF is a sponsor of the Chelan area chapter of this national organization.
The after-school program for 3rd- 8th grade girls incorporates running to facilitate lessons in self-esteem, positive decision-making, teamwork and involvement in one’s community, encouraging healthy habits for life. The goal of the program is to give girls the tools to become strong, confident members of their community who make choices that positively affect their social, physical and mental selves, and to make meaningful connections with others. At each lesson, the girls run (skip, hop, walk) and train for a 5K which they complete at the end of the program. This year the 5K will be on Saturday, June 3rd at Pybus Market. For more information, visit their website at GOTRColumbiaValley.org
Teen & Young Adult
Our future is in the hands of the next generation.
We Love our local school districts
Chelan High School Biomedical and Biotechnology Program
The Biomedical Science Program at Chelan High School was originally founded by Vicki Taylor and has changed throughout the years in order to stay current with the competitive and in-demand fields of health care, medicine, and biotechnology.
As part of this program, students of Chelan High School are exposed to modern content, techniques, and career opportunities while engaging in an inquiry-based curriculum. Additionally, Chelan High School is proud to host a service oriented student organization known as Med Club, which focuses on the medical sciences.
Adult
The 2025 Heart Heath Luncheon was a huge success. Our event was held at Sigillo’s Cellars Winery in Lakeside in February, Heart Health Month. The location, keynote speaker, food, and service were outstanding. The purpose of our event this year was to help with the purchase of an InBody Body scale for the new Cardiology PT department at the Lake Chelan Health Hospital. With that end in mind, we were able to raise approximately $3,000.
Senior
Chelan Senior Center
Activities, programs and community for the young at heart! The Chelan Senior Center was incorporated in 1973 as the Lake Chelan Senior Social Club. The original house was built around 1920 and purchased by the Chelan Social Club in 1973 to set up their quilting frames, make their quilts and socializing. From the proceeds of quilt sales and donations, the house was paid off in 1975. It was at that time the Social Club offered their building as a meal site for Senior Meals.
