The funds also support specialized education and training for Nascentia Health clinicians.

“The gifts of comfort, safety, and self-sufficiency that are provided change their lives in both small and large ways,” said Ashlea Schad, Vice President of Development & Strategic Partnerships. “The funds raised through this event not only support vulnerable members of our community but also enable us to continue supporting our clinical staff to deliver the highest quality of care.”
While many of our supporters can enjoy returning popular event features, new this year, Raise a Glass will take place on a Thursday evening to better accommodate working professionals.
All attendees can expect the following:

 

  • A silent online auction including 8 amazing trips for bidding all over the world, courtesy of AM Fund
  • Raffle auction, including exciting raffle baskets donated by Nascentia Health employees
  • Wine & Dine Pull featuring dozens of gift cards from local restaurants and businesses
