Region 4 Fundraising: Ladies' Night
Isn't Just for the Ladies
By: Alejandra Alvarez, Region 4 Student Director
Looking for fundraising ideas? Region 4 is here to help! This month, the AMWA branch at the University of Miami in Miami, FL hosted a great fundraising event to welcome its incoming class and give their student body an opportunity to mingle. They invited gentlemen to join in on "Ladies Night" at a popular local restaurant and bar. Guys had the perks of ladies night as well as VIP entrance to the facility. UM AMWA students were identified with a wristband that was pre-sold to raise money for the local organization. Over 100 students attended - it was a great mid-week break and a good start to fundraising to support AMWA endeavors such as sending new members to the National Conference in March. As they put so nicely: "As we work to equal the playing field for women in medicine, we're also working to even the playing field for guys...this week, ladies' night wasn't just for ladies!"
