The halls will be decked Monday, November 24 by
members of the GRMC Auxiliary. More than 40 wreaths decorated by area
businesses and volunteers in a wide variety of themes–traditional, whimsical,
and contemporary – will be raffled off in the annual wreath raffle. Ticket
sales begin Monday, November 24, 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 Thursday. December 11, 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
decorate the 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.
