2010 tnf silent auction
Come Join Us at the Tennessee Nurses Foundation Fifth Annual Silent Auction
Silent Auction Donation Form 2010 - Deadline to submit Donation Form is October 1, 2010
The Tennessee Nurses Foundation strives to support and encourage leadership and scholarships in nursing. The Tennessee nurse specialty license plate is about to become a reality and the Foundation has just begun a new scholarship program allowing tax deductible donations to be given for a Registered Nurse’s TNA membership dues. The TNF Scholarly Writing Contest each year offers winners a $1,000 award.
These worthwhile endeavors, as well as the TNF Memorial Educational Scholarship Program, come from donations to the Tennessee Nurses Foundation. The only program that has funding from another source within TNF is the Tennessee Professional Assistance Program, which is supported by the Tennessee Board of Nursing.
If more nurses were able to receive funding provided by TNF, it would make such a huge difference in the growth of Tennessee nurses as leaders within our profession. We hope you will help us achieve our goals!
So how can you help?
In addition to direct donations to TNF, you can donate an item to the TNF Silent Auction to be held at the 2010 TNA Annual Convention on October 22-24, at the Cool Springs Marriott in Franklin, Tennessee. If each member provides an item, we can have a lot of fun at the auction, and, in turn, help support the profession of nursing in Tennessee.
Items suggested for donations include, but are not limited to, autographed sports items, tickets to the theater/movie/sports, restaurant/spa treatment gift certificates, a week of vacation at a time share, horseback ride, jewelry, apparel, paintings, gift baskets, etc. Antique nursing books and prints have been very popular. You can also share some of those lovely items that you would rather stop dusting. If you are downsizing, we would love your gently used treasures. Please let us know what you would like to donate by filling out the TNF Silent Auction Donation Form and mailing it to TNA by October 1, 2010. You may also fax the completed form to 615-254-0303.
We need your assistance to get the item to the Convention by personal delivery or through a fellow member (no items shipped to the hotel please). This ensures that nothing gets missed, damaged or misplaced.
The TNF 2010 Silent Auction donors will be listed in the Winter issue of the Tennessee Nurse publication (circulation more than 100,000). Also, your donation is TAX DEDUCTIBLE, as the Tennessee Nurses Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c) (3) organization.
With a minimum of effort from each of us, a significant amount of money can be raised again this year. We look forward to seeing you in Franklin in October!
