MANA Pac Fundraiser

The MANA PAC held a drawing at the Spring 2010 NEANA Meeting in Burlington. The prize was a 42 inch TV donated by our PAC Chair, Brett Heffernan and a few other CRNAs.
MANA member, Brigid Welber won the prize and over $2,500 was raised for our PAC!

My name is Brett Heffernan CRNA and I am your MANA PAC Fund Chairperson. I want to thank Steve Carrier CRNA the outgoing MANA PAC Chair for his dedication and hard work these last three years, we all wish him luck in his future endeavors.
I have been a CRNA for six years and I always have done my part donating my 100 dollars yearly and that’s it. I was asked to get involved more. I thought what an awful job getting up in front of strangers and asking for their hard earned money and not knowing why or where.

Well as your new PAC chair I am here to share it with you. The money you donate to MANA’s PAC fund is presented to our elected officials. Money is sent to candidates running for office, senators, congressman, and representatives to support their campaigns. This money sends a message to them that we are concerned about our profession and that we are serious about our issues.

Each of your checks, whether they are for $52 or $100 dollars is more than just money, it is your voice saying I support my profession and I want to fight for it. We are in the mist of a vast change in healthcare, and our profession is at the forefront of this change. Now more than any time in the past your contribution can and will play a pivotal role. There are over six hundred certified registered nurse anesthetists in the state of Massachusetts and I am asking each one of you to personally help support your profession. We need your help.

Writing this letter reminds me of those winter Olympic visa card commercials so I made up my own.
