Fund-a-Need
Fund a Need is a special component of the event that allows you to make a philanthropic donation in support of a community need. This year all proceeds from the Annual Benefit will support nursing education at New London Hospital and Newport Health Center.
During our Fund-a-Need, guests can raise their bid cards to support these initiatives at the level that is right for you.
Here’s what your donation can do:
$5,000 can help support the purchase of a high-quality manikin, as well as other realistic training equipment to offer hands-on training for a variety of
simulated medical scenarios.
$2,500 can provide access to annual national conferences and conventions, inclusive of lodging and travel to access enhanced education and peer colleague networking.
$1,000 investment can enable an industry-leading provider to offer an internal training program, thus expanding the range of trainings available to NLH nurses.
$500 can help support nursing continuing education units (CEUs), which provide nurses with the needed board-certified training in the latest technology and the best practices in nursing to deliver safe patient outcomes.
$250 can help provide funds for obtaining certifications that expand a nurse’s expertise beyond the scope of their license.
$100 can provide membership to a myriad of professional nursing organizations and associations, providing resources, information and opportunities they might not have had otherwise.
Diamond Raffle
Indulge in our diamond raffle! Purchase a $50 champagne glass and receive a 1 carat cubic zirconia. As luck shines, one numbered glass will win a genuine lab-grown one carat, E-color with a VS1 clarity diamond, courtesy of MJ Harrington’s. Your support and a touch of sparkle can make a difference!
Event Theme
The theme for our 2023 Annual Benefit is Denim and Diamonds. Guests are encouraged to embrace the theme with their best denim and a touch of bling.
