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 friends and colleagues you have worked with during the last year. Caring Connections consist of a printed card with a small fabric appliqué telling the honoree that a donation has been made to SSCA's Awards in their honor. Recipients wear the appliqué on their name tags at the SSCA convention.

The awards lunch honors SSCA and Division award winners.  Join us to celebrate our colleagues' accomplishments. Tickets ($40) include presentations of plaques to the winners, and a plated lunch.
