Welcome the holiday season with the annual wreath
raffle sponsored by the Grinnell Regional Medical Center Auxiliary. This year,
the auxiliary will sell raffle tickets for nearly 40 holiday and winter
wreaths. Wreaths are 24 inches in diameter and decorated by area businesses and
volunteers in a wide variety of themes–traditional, whimsical, and
contemporary.
Ticket sales begin Monday, November 25, at The Glass
Gift Box at GRMC. Wreaths will be displayed in the hospital hallways by The
Glass Gift Box, laboratory waiting, and physical therapy. The drawing for
wreaths will be Friday, December 13, at 1 p.m.
“This is such a fun event,” says Jennifer Collins,
committee chair. “It’s wonderful to see all the creative wreath designs that
deck our halls at GRMC. The Auxiliary is thrilled with the support for this great
holiday tradition.”
Proceeds for this fundraiser will go toward the GRMC
Auxiliary’s $150,000 pledge to the hospital’s Moving at the Speed of Life
comprehensive campaign, with $100,000 committed to the GRMC Auxiliary
Chemotherapy and Infusion Suite. The auxiliary’s lead gift for this new area
was the catalyst for GRMC to move forward and complete this project.
Additionally, the GRMC Auxiliary supports various
medical center and health education programs, including $5,000 in scholarships,
books and gifts to newborns at the Kintzinger Women’s Health Center, and health
education.
Raffle tickets may be purchased at The Glass Gift Box,
the Auxiliary’s gift shop inside the medical center, for $1 each or 6 for $5,
beginning Monday, Nov. 25. While at The Glass Gift Box, shoppers can also
purchase angels for the hospital angel tree in honor or memory of a loved one.
For more information on any of these events or to
