2011 TNF silent auction - sixth annual
TNA & TASN Joint Convention
October 14-16, 2011
Franklin Marriott Cool Springs
Franklin, TN
The Tennessee Nurses Foundation’s mission is to promote professional excellence in nursing through programs such as:
- Leadership Nursing
- Memorial Educational Scholarships
- Arthur Davis LPN-RN Scholarship
- Nursing Research Grants
- Tennessee Professional Assistance Program
- TNA Membership Dues Scholarship Program
- Honor A Nurse Program
TNF’s Scholarly Writing Contest is in its fourth year and has awarded $1000 each year to the winner whose manuscript best describes how nurses are leading the future through research, leadership; influence; or by successful strategies in mentoring and sustaining the “new” nursing workforce. This year TNF is sponsoring the Nurses Walk for Health events that will take place during the month of May all across the state of Tennessee to kick off National Nurses Week and the new Honor A Nurse program has been added to TNF’s initiatives. The Nurses Change Lives specialty nurse license plate has taken off with close to 2,000 plates currently on the roads of Tennessee. Get yours today at your local county clerk’s office. Details on all of the Foundation’s initiatives are at www.tnaonline.org.
These worthwhile endeavors come from donations to the Tennessee Nurses Foundation. If more nurses were able to receive funding provided by the Tennessee Nurses Foundation, 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!
Donations will be accepted up to Saturday, October 15, the last day of the event. Donations cannot be shipped to the hotel. The item(s) need to be brought to TNA’s staff office at the hotel on the day of the event, or arrangements need to be made with your local District President to get the item to the auction. If needed, Silent Auction donations will be accepted at the TNA headquarters office at 545 Mainstream Dr., Suite 405, Nashville up to October 7, 2011. Please fill out the TNF Silent Auction Donation form at www.tnaonline.org by clicking on the TNA Convention link on the homepage or by clicking on the Tennessee Nurses Foundation link from the list on the left-hand side of the page.

- autographed sports items
- tickets to the theater/movie/sports
- restaurant/spa treatment gift certificates
- a week of vacation at a time share

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. Also, many times your local merchants may donate gift certificates to their establishments as a means of advertising. Please check with your local merchants for donations.
Your donation is TAX DEDUCTIBLE, as the Tennessee Nurses Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c) (3) organization.
