Nurses Honored on the Field

Two nurses were honored on the field during the pregame ceremony. The nurse with the most votes threw the first pitch, and the first runner-up was the catcher.  Each winner received 2 game tickets, Clove shoes, a prize bundle from Nuwest, and other prizes! 

Here are the two nurses who were chosen by an online vote: 

First Pitch Winner, Alison Waters: Alison is an aesthetic nurse injector who is passionate about aesthetics and promoting healthy aging while also helping to give confidence to her patients through a natural approach. 

Catcher, Kelli Collins: Kelli has been a nurse for just 5 years but in that time she has excelled. She is originally from Spokane and currently lives in Tacoma working as an ER nurse at Tacoma General Hospital. Kelli graduated from University of Idaho with a degree in Exercise Physiology and worked as an exercise specialist at Valley Medical Center in Renton for several years. After living and working in Germany for a year, she returned to North Carolina to be with her fiancé who had just returned from deployment overseas. It was here she pursued her dream of becoming a nurse. After working for a year her now husband was deployed again and so unsure of her future and where she would be living permanently, she decided to take a traveling assignment and ended up going to Reno, Nevada, Tacoma, Washington, Sacramento, California and Bellingham, Washington before permanently settling down in Tacoma when her husband returned from deployment. I am so proud of her for being a confident, caring and loving nurse. Not many people can travel with only one years experience. She has had to live with a military spouse who has been endlessly had to leave home for various deployments. She has 2 dogs that she adores and they have been her constant companions traveling everywhere she goes. I think she would be a great person to throw out the first pitch, especially because she constantly throws balls for her dogs!
