The Student Nursing Association pooled its resources and gathered a huge assortment of items to create two gift baskets for charity. The baskets were raffled at this year’s Signature Chefs Auction to benefit March of Dimes, Monday at the Pinnacle in Maumee.
Eileen Alexander is the SNA advisor. She's a clinical instructor at Owens and has been involved with the charity for the past 8 years. According to Eileen, the SNA was looking for opportunities for community outreach and liked what the March of Dimes does to improve the health of pregnant women and babies.
The SNA put together a student and a faculty basket containing items such as: a Keurig coffee maker, 2 free massages, wine, candles, chocolate and much more. The student basket was assembled by Jenifer Biggs and was auctioned on Monday evening for $194. The faculty basket also sold, making $159 for the charity.
According to the event’s website, the Signature Chefs event has been held in more than 200 cities across the country and has raised more than $150 million for the March of Dimes.
The student-assembled basket includes wine with glasses, 2 free massages, scented lotions and candles.
