VIM & VIGR, maker of stylish and comfortable compression socks for all walks of life, announce the launch of its annual “Nurses Week” fundraiser running now through May 12. For every pair of socks purchased, VIM & VIGR donates $5 to its nursing scholarship fund, which is open for applications.
“It takes a lot of heart and a tenacious nature to be a nurse, but especially these days,” said Michelle Huie, founder of VIM & VIGR. “They put their patient’s needs before their own, and we are honored to launch our annual sock fundraiser and scholarship program in an effort to help support two deserving up-and-coming nurses on their educational journeys.”
New for Nurses Week 2023, VIM & VIGR’s Free Heart graduated compression socks are designed to celebrate nurses’ generous hearts and are available in two compression levels, 15-20 mmHg and 20-30 mmHg.
Made with a premium cotton blend, the socks offer graduated compression from ankle to calf with a contoured leg and heel for a superior fit. A flexible toe pocket provides extra comfort for all-day wear. MSRP $36.
