On behalf of the American Association for Respiratory Care - AARC:

I'm excited to share that in an effort to help fundraise for the AARC Disaster Relief Fund, some members of the House of Delegates have come together to sponsor a fundraiser through Pampered Chef. With Christmas just two months away, this is a perfect opportunity to start some early gift shopping while also supporting our fellow RTs in need.

This year has seen many natural disasters, and any assistance we can provide to our colleagues is greatly appreciated. If you're interested in doing some early Christmas shopping while supporting this worthy cause, please click the link below.

Thank you in advance for your consideration!
