The Stainton Society

The Stainton Society is the largest fundraising organization in the Foundation family and remains a critical part of Shore Memorial's overall development effort.

In the spirit of Howard Stainton’s humble philanthropy, the Stainton Society was founded in 1989 to allow individuals, families and businesses to pledge annual support to Shore Memorial through membership. Annual pledges range from $500 to $10,000 and above.

Since then, the Society has grown to over 600 members and has contributed more than $10 million for important projects and programs, including new medical technology, a new Cancer Center, CardioVascular Institute, Joint Replacement Operating Suite and expansions to our Maternal Child Health Center and Emergency Department.
