“Looking at the Doughnator list in our office each day makes me smile. Remembering last year’s Basket Social, I think of people busy baking, others visiting local businesses for basket treasures, and still others making new connections at Eliza Steele’s garden. We nurses thank you all for keeping the wind in our sails!” 

Lise Duda, RN, RDNA Clinical Care Director

Doughnators are individuals, businesses, groups, friends and family. Many join together as a “group” to make a donation in memory of a loved one, in honor of a special occasion, or simply with a shared interest.

Special shout-out to the Rockland District High School classes who have donated in memory of RDNA’s Eliza Steele, RN ~ their beloved school nurse.

Become a Doughnator leading up to the Basket Social. Doughnators are included on the Doughnator board.

  • Minimum donation of $30 ~ please note if you are part of a “group” donating
  • Let us know if you are Team Savory or Sweet: Sourdougnators… feed the starter  ~  Cookie Doughnators… sweeten the basket
  • All donations support RDNA services

The Doughnator board is proudly displayed first during the Basket Social and on event social media, then in the nursing office and on the RDNA web-site through the year.

The Doughnator board list includes:

  • Individuals who have been remembered or honored
  • Doughnator “groups” ~ only the “group” name is listed
  • Individual Doughnators (with permission)
