Dhonna and Bobby Goodale donate $1 million to Peconic Bay Medical Center

Mrs. Goodale was stated saying:  “I am particularly moved by the message and the spirit of Oprah Winfrey’s Angel Network which was established to encourage people around the world to make a difference in the lives of others,” said Dhonna Goodale. “What better place to start but in the communities where we live.” 

Goodales Make $1 Million Challenge Gift to PBMC 3/18/2008

Longtime community leaders Bobby and Dhonna Goodale of Flanders have announced a $1 million donation to Peconic Bay Medical Center and are challenging others of means to do the same.

“Peconic Bay Medical Center is in this community for the benefit of all of us,” said Mr. Goodale during the annual Candlelight Ball at the Inn & Spa at East Wind in Wading River last Saturday night when the gift was announced. “And each of us should see how we can support our medical center, either by contribution of money or assets or even a contribution of time. I particularly hope that individuals and organizations capable of making a $1 million gift to Peconic Bay Medical Center, seriously consider doing so. I can not think of any cause more worthy than the health and well being of our communities.”

“I am particularly moved by the message and the spirit of Oprah Winfrey’s Angel Network which was established to encourage people around the world to make a difference in the lives of others,” said Dhonna Goodale. “What better place to start but in the communities where we live.”

Mr. Goodale is a veteran member of PBMC’s Board of Directors, currently serving as its chairman. His father Jesse R. Goodale led the last capital campaign for the hospital in the mid-1980s.

Relatives of the family that founded a local construction supply business are hoping that their $1 million donation to Peconic Bay Medical Center will encourage others to invest in helping expand the Riverhead hospital.?Bobby Goodale, the current chairman of Peconic Bay's Board of Directors and a 15-year member of the board, and his wife, Dhonna, announced their donation during the hospital's Candlelight Ball, an annual fund-raiser held earlier this month in Wading River. The Goodales, who live on the water in Flanders, said they hope that their donation, which will be given over several years, will encourage other philanthropists to offer their financial support to the growing medical center.?"I donated the money for a number of reasons, one of which is to help support the building of the surgical center and also to continue my family's involvement in Peconic Bay," Mr. Goodale said.?Mr. Goodale's father, Jesse Goodale, helped raise funds during Peconic Bay's last capital campaign back in 1983. Jesse Goodale and his brother, Harold, founded Riverhead Building Supply in 1948. The chain operates 10 locations across Long Island, including stores in Riverhead, Hampton Bays, Southampton, East Hampton and Montauk, as well as six showrooms. Since the donation announcement was made, Mr. Goodale said he has heard of several prospective donors who have expressed interest in following the lead set by him and his wife.
