The Grinnell Regional Medical Center Auxiliary will
again host its annual wreath raffle and Angel Tree fundraisers. Both activities
kick off in November.
This year, the auxiliary will sell tickets for nearly
40 holiday and winter wreaths. Each wreath is 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, Nov. 23, at the Glass Gift
Box at GRMC. Wreaths will be displayed in the hospital hallways by The Glass
Gift Box, laboratory waiting, and chemotherapy. Tickets are $1 each or six for
$5. The drawing for wreaths will be Thursday, Dec. 10, at 1 p.m.
The auxiliary will fill a tree in the medical center
with angels for the upcoming holiday season. This project is a way to honor or
remember loved ones through the purchase of an angel ornament for the tree. The
GRMC Auxiliary will sell a choice of two ornaments, for $10 each, in The Glass
Gift Box at GRMC.
After Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season,
angel ornaments remain on display in the admissions department of the hospital
until December 17 when the ornaments may be picked up and taken home by the
person who purchased the ornament or given to the honoree to decorate their
personal tree at home. The tree will remain on display until after December 25.
Ornaments will be sold from November 3 through December 16.
Funds raised 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.
To purchase an angel ornament and raffle tickets for
the wreaths, stop by the GRMC Auxiliary’s gift shop, The Glass Gift Box. For
