“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 pmat 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.
