TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR FESTIVAL OF TREES!
POSTED: NOV 10, 2008
Festival of Trees is planned for Saturday, December 6th at St. Mary’s Hall in Winner. This year’s theme is “Winter Wonderland" and tickets are on sale now! Get yours while they last!
Tickets are $40 each and include a wine and beer tasting, a delicious dinner and gourmet dessert, commemorative wine goblets and entertainment including live and silent auctions, gift box gallery and a dance! Tickets are available at K's Florals & Sports, Crazy Daisy, Marty's, at the Winner Regional Healthcare Center information desk or from Dorothy Schuyler-Gant, Foundation Director by calling 842-7250.
Proceeds from Festival of Trees will help to fund two new hospital-grade defibrillators, one to be used in the emergency room and another for the medical-surgery floor crash cart.
Defibrillators save lives by providing electric shocks that can restore normal heart rate. Early defibrillation is critical to the outcomes of adults in cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest has a high mortality rate unless defibrillation occurs quickly. Survival decreases 7% to 10% with each minute that passes; therefore, rapid defibrillation is an essential goal in any protocol for treating patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
If your business or non-profit organization would like to donate a live or silent auction item please contact Foundation Director Dorothy Schuyler-Gant at (605) 842-7250 or Dawn Dickinson, Foundation Board Member at (605) 842-1746.
“Festival of Trees is always an elegant and festive event,” said Mike Hall, CEO/Administrator. “Winner Regional is always appreciative of the many wonderful and creative live and silent auction items that are donated from our community.”
“Having reliable defibrillators in our ER and on the floor is imperative to the quality of care we’re providing at Winner Regional,” he continued. “We know that it’s important to our community that Winner Regional patients are being treated with functioning, dependable equipment when our staff responds to a code.”
