“Train a Nurse in Ghana”
Fundraiser
Get Fit & Support a Great
Cause
Thursday, May 9, 2013
The Windsor-Essex Chapter of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario
(RNAO) have organized a fitness fundraiser to support the education of a
nursing student in Ghana, Africa. This
Zumba® Fitness class will be held on Thursday,
May 9, 2013 from 6:30pm to 8 pm
at the WFCU Centre’s Sports Gym.
Inspired by the ongoing humanitarian work
in Ghana by the Rotary Club of Windsor (1918), the executive of RNAO Windsor-Essex Chapter
felt that this was a worthwhile initiative to support the nursing profession in
a developing country. The $3,600 they hope to raise will provide a full 3-year
scholarship to train one nurse who will be able to provide direct care to
patients and individuals in a rural, resource poor area where one doctor serves
85,000 people.
The public are
invited to join in the fun by participating in the Zumba® Fitness class themselves
or by sponsoring a friend or colleague who is. All pledges are welcome and
receipts for donations greater than $20 will be issued through the Rotary Club
of Windsor Foundation. Pledges
can be made in person at the event, by email to info@rotary1918.com or by calling
519-253-6382.
