"Roses...Just Because" February 15 - March 14

The "Roses...Just Because" project has raised over $400,000 the past several years all across Avera.  Many facilities direct the proceeds of the event to benefit their hospice program while others have special projects or programs that benefit from the event.

The Avera Health Foundation directs the dollars generated for Children's Care, Rural Health Care, meeting the health needs of those who cannot pay, the Haiti Endowment, or to our Leaders Scholarship Endowment.  Each endowment can, and does, touch the lives of people in all communities across Avera.

Would you help us help those in need?

Purchase a dozen roses for your spouse, another dozen for a friend and another dozen for someone who would least expect it from you - the waitress at a restaurant you frequent, the cashier at the grocery store.  Purchase a dozen for yourself.  "Roses...Just Because".

The Roses

A dozen long-stemmed roses for only $20.  A variety of colors available - first come/first choice.  This has been a very heartwarming project all across Avera.  The smiles, hugs and tears generated by a dozen roses are guaranteed to warm your heart.  Last day to order roses is March 14, 2008.
