Blanchett said the Run for the Nurses is held in honor of the Lisa Purvis Allison Spirit of Nursing Scholarship at ABAC and is the only event the School of Nursing & Health Sciences does annually to raise scholarships for nursing students.

“This event allows us to stop and remember Lisa Purvis Allison, who passed away shortly after graduating from ABAC’s nursing school in 2009,” said Dr. Jeffrey Ross, Dean of ABAC’s School of Nursing and Health Sciences. “The scholarship fund honors Lisa and provides financial assistance to ABAC nursing students who have the same drive and passion for nursing that Lisa had.”
