CHICO, Calif. – Golden Valley Bank (GVYB) announced that its Community Foundation donated $75,000 to the Enloe Foundation to help kick off its fundraising efforts to get the community vaccinated against COVID-19.

In collaboration with Butte County, Enloe Medical Center has established a Community COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic in Chico. While the shots are free to those receiving them, they are not “free.”

This is because Enloe Medical Center must cover the overhead cost to administer the vaccine. The hospital’s initial goal is to vaccinate 50,000 people, which results in 100,000 vaccines.

Enloe estimates the cost will be $1.5 million. The hospital recently announced a $750,000 matching pledge from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. founder Ken Grossman and his wife, Katie Gonser.

The Golden Valley Bank Community Foundation’s $75,000 contribution comes from the Bank’s $250,000 commitment to COVID-19 Relief generated through fees from the Paycheck Protection Program.

You can register yourself and your business to get the COVID-19 vaccine HERE. You can also donate at Enloe.org. Golden Valley Bank is a locally-owned financial institution with offices in Chico and Redding.
