What is your Cancellation/Refund Policy?
Cancellation Policy: If you discover that you have made a donation in error or you have made an entry error, we will rectify the error.

This donation cancellation policy is separate and apart from the refund policy for organized events.

The written request must contain your full name, mailing address, credit card number and expiration date. The entry fee will be refunded to your credit card.
What programs can I support?
ARHF is happy to provide information about the many programs donors can support. Donations may be designated to benefit specific departments ARHS (e.g. cancer, stroke, birthing center, and/or emergency funds), or where the need is the greatest. Donors are always encouraged to provide their input on planning a major gift for a particular program, purpose or expense.
Why does the foundation need my support?
Appalachian Regional Healthcare System is a full-service not-for-profit hospital system. ARHS stays committed to promoting health in the High Country, enhancing quality of life and simply making life better.

How do I have my name removed from the Foundation contact list?

If I make a gift, will ARHF sell my name to other charities?
No. Protecting donor confidentiality and privacy is of key importance. Personal information is used solely to process the donation, maintain a record of contributions and keep the donor informed of the latest news and fundraising initiatives at the Foundation. The Foundation will not trade or sell donor names.
