Ongoing Fundraisers
SC Society of the Children of the American Revolution Fundraiser
South Carolina Society of the Children of the American Revolution has chosen to help Pediatric Cardiology at the Children’s Hospital as their
year-long state project. Each year the state president selects a project that he or she will pursue during the one-year term of office.
This year’s president, Thomas Burnette has dreams of one day being a doctor and chose to benefit Pediatric Cardiology by raising funds through
the sale of pins, auctions, fundraisers as well as a toydrive and sewing blank dolls. Heart pins can be purchased for $10 at
www.scscar.org or by calling 803-760-2004. All proceeds will benefit the MUSC Children’s Hospital Fund for Pediatric Cardiology.
To host a special event or to get more information on any of these scheduled events, please contact Wanda Bazemore, Director of Special Events, at Bazemore@musc.edu.
