LITTLE ROCK -- The seventh annual winter AromatiqueT benefit
sale at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS)
yielded almost $57,000 for patient needs, equipment, and research
at Arkansas's only academic health center.
The Heber Springs, Ark., company
donates merchandise to UAMS each year for sale at a discount to
employees. Hundreds of UAMS employees delight in stocking up on
the company's popular potpourri, candles, and decorative items.
The University Hospital Auxiliary gives proceeds of the sale to
projects around the hospital.
AromatiqueT donations to UAMS
have had a cumulative value of almost $500,000. The university has
used the funds for a wide variety of special projects, including
prescriptions, transportation, toiletry articles, and food for
needy patients; free coffee in hospital waiting rooms; testing of
a possible vaccine for cervical and uterine cancer; an ophthalmic
laser; fetal monitors; and a stereo unit for MRI patients.
Patricia and Richard Upton of Heber
Springs are owners and founders of AromatiqueT. Mr. Upton is a
past president of the UAMS Foundation Fund Board.
