Text Box: How we help! Text Box: These are just some of the ways we are helping the community by raising money and volunteering our time! We are so excited about the foundation and the ways we are helping give back. Text Box: Camp Rhythm is a camp for children with heart conditions. This camp offers children a chance once a year to gather with other children sharing their pains and understanding their fears. Averi’s Foundation donates money to this camp in support of their efforts of offering these children the opportunity to enjoy being children while still being cautious of their conditions.

This program was developed to help familes be able to afford some of the costs that go along with having a child in the hospital with a heart condition. Some of the ways that we give are to help with lodging for those families who are too far away from home to commute back during their child’s stay. Averi’s Foundation pledges to find a need then meet it using funds raised by the fundraisers we hold each year. Text Box: The nursing scholarship fund is what got our foundation started. We developed the Averi Budde Foundation to raise money to send nurses to continuing education classes. The nurses picked to go to these training classes then come back to the hospital and pass along their knowledge to other nurses, in hopes of building the strength and knowledge of their team.
