Marshfield Clinic is grateful for the tremendous support we receive each year to support our mission. The Development Department recently unveiled a new annual leadership giving society – the Circle of Friends – to honor our most loyal and generous donors.
Circle of Friends strives to recognize donors whose dedication to Marshfield Clinic is backed by strong financial support each year. This society is made up of individuals and organizations whose annual gifts and sponsorships of $1,000 or more provide the foundation for the valuable programs and services offered at the Clinic.
