Caring Connections 

Caring Connections is a dual purpose fund raiser. First, Caring Connections purchases help fund the Association's awards.  Second, Caring Connections provides a way for you to thank those friends and colleagues you have worked with during the last year. 

Caring Connections consist of a printed card telling the honoree that a donation has been made to SSCA's Awards in their honor and a small fabric appliqué. Recipients wear the appliqué on their name tags at the SSCA convention
