Support Nursing at Trinity
For one week, May 8 - 12, 2017, the Trinity Alumni Nursing Association board is challenging all nursing alumni and friends to raise $20,000 in support of nursing at Trinity. Celebrate National Nurses Week with us by donating a gift of any size to help us reach our goal! How will you encourage Trinity and its nursing students today?
Why $20,000?
Raising $20,000 will allow us to endow a scholarship, awarding $1,000 to 1 new Trinity nursing student every year...forever! Your gift, as a Trinity nursing alum or friend, will directly encourage current and future Trinity nursing students.
Your Gift x 50%
Thanks to a generous donor, Dr. Lois Roelofs, Professor Emeritus of Nursing, a match has already been established to help us reach our goal. For every $2 raised, Dr. Roelofs will provide $1, up to $10,000! Note: Match money will be added each morning based on the total raised the previous day.
"It was a rewarding challenge to help start the nursing program in 1983, and I'm thrilled with the quality and success of our grads. I am very happy at this time to offer a challenge grant of one dollar for every two dollars raised toward monies that will benefit the nursing department for a long time to come." - Dr. Roelofs
