ANAHEIM, Calif. — After donating more than $73,000 to industry advocacy efforts last year — $24,356 each, to be specific, to NCART, NRRTS and AAHomecare — MK Battery is working on a "Power for Funding" event that will take place at Medtrade 2011 in Atlanta.
Celebrating its 26th consecutive year as a Medtrade exhibitor, the company said it would use the milestone to unite the industry "for an evening of solidarity as providers and exhibitors gather together to reminisce about the past 25 years while raising funds to help weather the next quarter century."
MK Battery will underwrite the event with a contribution of $50,000. The fundraiser will be held Oct. 25 at the Omni Hotel, and tickets will be available to all providers. Medtrade and MK are looking to raise additional monies through sponsorships, with the net proceeds once again to be presented to NCART, NRRTS and AAHomecare at the evening gala.
