Support the PAC and be Sure Your Voice is Heard in Harrisburg

What is the PAC Fund? The PAC Fund is a separate account that provides funds for our lobbyist, Morgan Plant, to be able to attend political fundraisers in Harrisburg. At these political events, she develops and maintains relationships with lawmakers from both parties in the PA Senate and House. Through her encounters and conversations with legislators, Morgan promotes PA school nurses by explaining to those in Harrisburg how legislation will affect our practice and the children we serve. In turn, she provides us with important alerts and updates on legislation that will affect our practice. Morgan has been instrumental in getting our “foot in the door” with various pieces of legislation and have been able to contribute to the legislation.

What is the Legislative Auction?  The Legislative Auction is the primary way PASNAP raises money for the School Nurse PAC Fund (political action committee). It is run yearly at the Conference. It is a fun way to support the PAC Fund with chances to win regional and county baskets filled with goodies, as well as purses, jewelry, and crafts. Tickets are $25 for 25 tickets. Winning numbers are announced after the banquet dinner on Saturday of the conference.

What is the Silent Auction? This year, we are having a silent auction for a week at a vacation home on a lake in Ontario, Canada. This prize is worth approximately $4000, but bidding starts at $1000. This vacation home has 6 bedrooms, and sleeps 12-14 people. The bidding can be done at the following site:.

How can I support the School Nurse PAC Fund? It is your contribution to the PAC Fund and your support of the Legislative Auction that helps our lobbyist “get in the room” to strengthen our voice and influence political decisions. You are asked to donate because PASNAP membership dues do not contribute to political activities.  (Similarly, PSEA or the PFT members are also asked to donate to their PACs because union dues cannot be used to promote political candidates or causes). PASNAP regularly reports PAC expenditures and income to the PA Department of State’s Bureau of Campaigns and Elections.

Please support the Legislative Auction! This PAC fundraiser, our largest during the year, helps promote PASNAP’s special interests to legislators in Harrisburg. The basket/item donations are all truly wonderful and it is a fun time for all!  Additionally, your ticket purchase will help ensure that school nurses’ voices are heard, especially vital in the current political climate.

And please visit the Silent Auction site to bid on a week at a vacation home by a lake!!
