Yellow tags will flutter everywhere on Friday, Sept. 19,
when the Grinnell Regional Medical Center Auxiliary hosts its annual Tag Day.
This event has been a GRMC Auxiliary tradition for 90 years where area
residents are asked to make a donation in exchange for the bright yellow tags.
“We are so proud of the strong support our auxiliary
and the hospital receive from the communities we serve,” says Shannon Reding,
president, GRMC Auxiliary. “Tag Day is such a wonderful tradition and along
with other fundraisers, it allows us to make significant contributions to GRMC.
We continue to work toward our pledge of $150,000 for the Moving at the Speed of Life campaign and we hope the community will
support this year’s Tag Day.”
Area residents from all the communities in the GRMC
service area are encouraged to stop at participating businesses or collection
places to make a donation. Tables will be set up in Brooklyn, Grinnell, Montezuma,
Toledo, and Victor. Tags will be sold at GRMC clinics in Lynnville, in Toledo at
Deer Creek Health Center, and in Victor. Patriot Bank in Brooklyn will have
volunteers selling tags. In Grinnell, look for auxiliary members at GRMC, Casa
Margaritas, Fareway, HyVee, Lonnski’s, McNally’s,
Medicap Pharmacy, Pioneer Bookstore, Pizza Ranch, Post Office, Saints Rest,
Walmart.
Tag Day supports the auxiliary’s projects every year as they
have for generations. Funding for the Grinnell Regional Babies Room program for
new mothers, hospital tours with area first-graders, and an extensive
healthcare scholarship program are among the ongoing projects supported by the
auxiliary. This is all done in addition to their goal to be a positive
influence on the patient experience at GRMC through patient and volunteer
services.
