CON reaches scholarship goal

MUSC College of Nursing (CON) volunteers have raised more than $9,000 at the College of Nursing’s 2009 Barbeque Benefit sponsored by the Dean’s Hilton Head Advisory Board. The event raised enough funds to fully endow the college’s 125th Anniversary Nursing Scholarship that will aid nursing students in their pursuit to become innovative nurses of the future.

Ruth E. Edwards, chaired this year’s Hilton Head Advisory Board and lead 12 volunteers to sell tickets and sponsorships for the event.

The Barbeque Benefit was held Nov. 8 at Honey Horn Plantation on Hilton Head Island. Sponsors included The Broken Arrow Barbeque Team, The Heritage Classic Foundation, Hilton Head Regional Healthcare, The Greenery Inc., Resort Services Inc., and Bess Soper Catering.
