CHICAGO, October 24, 2005 — The Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management (AHRMM) recently made a donation of $25,000 to The Care Fund to support hospital workers and their families who were affected by Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita.

The Care Fund is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization established by hospital associations in the affected states. All contributions made to the fund will help hospital staff and their families rebuild their lives after suffering devastating losses from the hurricanes. 100% of donations made to The Care Fund go to those in need; administrative costs and services are being absorbed by the hospital associations.

AHRMM has encouraged its local chapters and individual members who are able to donate to The Care Fund. The Kansas AHRMM Chapter donated $5,000 in September, and has challenged every AHRMM Chapter to make a donation in any amount to achieve 100% participation from all local AHRMM affiliates.
