On Facebook students with the same thought were asking similar questions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw people asking, \u2018Is there anything going on? Is there anything I can donate to? Anyone who needs anything?\u2019,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Talking with the 40-or-so other students in her fifth-level nursing class at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, they came up with the idea of a designing and selling a locally-focused T-shirt.<\/p>\n<p>So they did. With a logo of the Chattanooga skyline designed by Watts, as of Tuesday, April 28, more than 700 shirts had been sold, raising more than $8,500.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, I am just extremely proud of our community,\u201d Watts said. \u201cWhen all of this started, my classmates and I thought\u2014best case scenario\u2014we could sell 150 shirts. I pray that this donation gives hope to those students who have lost so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Money raised will be donated to the UTC Student Disaster Relief Fund 2020, which was organized by the School of Nursing specifically for students who were victims of the tornadoes. It will be administered through the UTC Student Emergency Fund.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fundraising effort by the students in the School of Nursing exemplifies the type of engagement and leadership that we hope all of our students aspire, both in an out of the classroom,\u201d said Brett Fuchs, UTC associate dean of students and administrator of the fund.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese students started this initiative without prompting, simply wanting to find a way to help their fellow Mocs. Over and over again over the last weeks, we have watched as our students, faculty, and staff selflessly work to aid one another\u2014whether it be the impact of COVID-19 or the Chattanooga tornadoes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tim Lott, another nursing student involved in the T-shirt sale, said he has close friends whose homes were destroyed in the storms. As nursing students, he and his classmates some in direct contact with the damage\u2014both physical and mental\u2014that disasters like this one can cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of us are employed\u00a0in the hospitals already and know\u00a0the implication that injuries from a disaster like a tornado can have on people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Once the sale is over, T-shirts will be shipped directly to the buyers\u2019 homes, Watts said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChattanooga and the UTC community have given us so much over our four-plus years as students, and we would like nothing more than to give back,\u201d Watts said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a logo of the Chattanooga skyline designed by Becca Watts, as of today\u2014Monday, April 20\u2014almost 600 shirts have been sold, raising more than $6,600.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2020\/04\/nursing-students-raise-money-for-tornado-victims\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":31248,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4936,3,64,661],"tags":[99077],"class_list":{"0":"post-31234","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-community","8":"category-news","9":"category-school-of-nursing","10":"category-students","11":"tag-student-emergency-fund","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
