TO Donate
Together, we can do great things!
This year, we have incorporated a new and easy way for you to make
a donation to the Huntsville Classic - here at the event, in less than 30
seconds, and utilizing your cell phone! A gift of any amount will be greatly
appreciated. If everyone in the VBC Arena makes a donation this evening,
then together we can make a tremendous impact, and equip Huntsville
Hospital’s nurses with important communications technology.
Instructions for making a donation are listed below. After texting your
donation amount, you will receive a text with a link to complete your gift.
If you cannot complete the transaction this evening, then a Mobile Cause
Call Center representative will contact you to complete the donation
in the next few days. If you have questions or need assistance, a Classic
volunteer or Foundation staff member will be happy to help you.

Your Support
Makes a Difference!
Classic Proceeds to Enhance
Physician & Nurse Communications
Proceeds from the 2015 Classic will support a new
Huntsville Hospital initiative, Nursing Mobility, which
will provide nurses with a single multi-purpose
communications device that can be used in many ways.
The device will provide secure texting with physicians
and other clinicians, as well as nurse call alerts, and
emergency patient alerts.
When administering medications to a patient, the nurse
will be able to use the device to scan patient armbands and
medication barcodes to ensure the patient is receiving
the right drug and right dose at the right time – and then
automatically document the medications administered
in the patient’s medical record.
The enhanced communications will not only improve
communications among caregivers, it will also decrease
medication errors, and enhance patient care and safety
– our ultimate goal.
We appreciate your support of the 2015 Classic, our
physicians and nurses – and most importantly, our
patients!
