Local youth donates to Hospital Foundation of Decatur County

Greensburg, IN — Max Schorey, a 3rd grader at Batesville Intermediate School, recently completed his painting fundraiser for the Hospital Foundation of Decatur County.

For the second year in a row, Max raised over $500 for the Foundation.

Max started this project in 2021, painting rocks and selling them in order to raise the money he then donated to the Hospital Foundation of Decatur County.

This year, he decided to do larger paintings, and called them “Paint the Hospital.”

He started this project to help the hospital, he stated, the project being his own idea.

For 2022, he painted woods and outdoor scenery, as well as positive sayings such as “Be Kind” and “You are the best flower in here.”

He even painted a special bird for a relative who made the request.

“The Foundation is so grateful for this donation from Max. He is a bright and caring young boy, and has a passion for giving back,” said Mandy Lohrum, Director of the Hospital Foundation.
