We have an important update regarding our Mug Fundraiser for the Martha Galvez Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen issue with our vendor's shipping process, we regret to inform that we are unable to fulfill the mug orders. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you placed an order, you will be receiving a full refund.

On the bright side, we raised $90 thanks to additional donations! All additional donations will continue to support the scholarship fund that aims to provide financial aid for students pursuing a nursing degree.

3 years ago today, Martha’s article for the Tri City Herald was published, bringing awareness to nurses’ rights. This is just one example of Martha’s tireless advocacy for nurses. 💪🏻 Read below:

When Providence Health added the Kadlec Health System to its roster of West Coast hospitals five years ago, the corporate health-care giant touted its commitment to serving the community. Changes, executives said, would be minor. Only the name would change.

Today is and we want to say thank you to everyone for all of the support 💜 As Martha once said, “There is strength in numbers!”

Thanks to everyone’s support, we are getting closer to our goal of awarding a deserving future nurse. We greatly appreciate any and all support in helping us reach our goal:
