News from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
AUGUST 25, 2003 | The Tiny
Hands Monster Bash Sat., Oct. 25, may just
be the coolest Halloween party around and
it offers a great fundraising opportunity
for the new UAMS Family Home.
The costume party and silent auction will
start at 6:30 p.m. at Next Level Events in
Union Station, 1400 West Markham,
Little Rock, with both a live and silent auction.
Tickets are $25 for UAMS
employees, $30 for everyone else. Anyone
is invited to attend, or to make a
tax-deductible contribution or donation to
the silent auction. Sponsorship levels
from $500-$1,500 entitle the giver to a
varying number of complimentary tickets to
the bash, recognition on signage at the
event, in the Monster Bash program, and in
the UAMS Family Home newsletter.
All money raised benefits
the UAMS Family Home
and ACRC
Auxiliary Cancer Support Center,
the new building on the corner of W.
Markham and Rose across from the main campus, which houses family
members of babies in the UAMS Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit and cancer patients
undergoing outpatient treatment at the
Arkansas Cancer Research Center (ACRC).
The home is an independent, non-profit
program of Family and Friends of Children
and Adults, Inc. |
