Blue Sky Scrubs Honors Nurses Week with 20% Off All Products and a Commitment to Giving Back in Austin, Texas. We help fund future nurses through mentorship.
AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, May 5, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- In celebration of National Nurses Week, Blue Sky Scrubs, the Austin-based designer medical apparel brand, is proud to announce a special promotion honoring nurses and healthcare professionals everywhere. From May 6–12, all customers will receive 20% off all Blue Sky Scrubs products—no exclusions, no minimum purchase required. This exclusive offer is a heartfelt thank you to the medical heroes who work tirelessly to keep communities safe, healthy, and cared for.
For over 20 years, Blue Sky Scrubs has designed, manufactured, and distributed luxury medical clothing, including handcrafted scrub caps and scrubs, from its headquarters in Austin, Texas. Known for blending style with functionality, the company is deeply rooted in service and gratitude, especially when it comes to recognizing nurses—the backbone of healthcare.
'National Nurses Week is more than a calendar event—it's a chance to truly honor the people who show up every day with compassion, strength, and selflessness,' said Shelby Marquardt, founder and chief designer of Blue Sky Scrubs. 'Our mission has always been to support healthcare professionals, not just with the best-fitting scrubs, but with meaningful gestures that show we care.'
A Week of Style, Savings, and Support
During Nurses Week, Blue Sky Scrubs is rolling out a sitewide 20% discount, valid on all products—including their best-selling scrub caps, performance stretch scrubs, lab coats, loungewear, and accessories. The discount will be automatically applied at checkout on the company's website, ensuring a seamless shopping experience for busy healthcare workers who deserve a wardrobe refresh.
'Our scrubs are built for long shifts and tough days,' added Marquardt. 'But just as importantly, they're designed to make nurses feel confident, stylish, and valued—because they are.'
Giving Back to Healthcare Communities
In keeping with its legacy of social responsibility, Blue Sky Scrubs is also using Nurses Week as a platform to give back to communities in need. As part of the celebration, the company has pledged to donate scrubs and caps to nonprofit medical missions, nursing school programs, and community clinics across the U.S. and abroad.
Earlier this year, Blue Sky Scrubs supported multiple humanitarian trips to underserved regions by donating apparel to nurses and doctors serving on the front lines in countries such as Honduras, Kenya, and the Dominican Republic. Now, during Nurses Week, the company is expanding its reach by identifying new partners to help equip and uplift even more healthcare workers.
'Every nurse deserves to feel appreciated, no matter where they serve,' said Marquardt. 'By outfitting mission teams and educational programs, we hope to spread a message of unity, generosity, and global compassion.'
Healthcare organizations and individuals interested in nominating a clinic or nursing program for donations can do so directly on the Blue Sky Scrubs website. The company will be spotlighting select stories throughout Nurses Week on its social media channels to share the impact these caregivers make.
A History of Heart
Since its founding, Blue Sky Scrubs has always stood for more than clothing. The company was created by Marquardt, a former anesthesiology resident, who couldn't find scrub caps that combined professionalism with personal style. What began as a side project quickly grew into a national brand—one that now serves hospitals, clinics, and individual healthcare providers across the country and around the globe.
In addition to premium products, Blue Sky Scrubs is known for its commitment to craftsmanship—with each item being handmade using top-quality fabrics, durable stitching, and fashion-forward design. The company is also committed to sustainability, reducing textile waste in manufacturing and using recyclable packaging whenever possible.
'Being a healthcare professional means making sacrifices daily,' Marquardt added. 'At Blue Sky, we want to be a part of lifting those professionals up—not just during Nurses Week, but every day of the year.'
Join the Celebration
To participate in the 20% Nurses Week discount, customers simply need to shop at www.blueskyscrubs.com between May 6–12, 2025. No code is necessary—the discount will be applied automatically at checkout. The promotion is open to all customers, whether purchasing for themselves, coworkers, or loved ones in healthcare.
Throughout the week, Blue Sky Scrubs will also be highlighting nurses' stories and hosting giveaways on Instagram and TikTok. Followers are encouraged to tag their favorite nurse or post a video describing how a nurse has made a difference in their life, using the hashtag #ThankYouNurses. Select participants will win free scrub caps or gift cards as part of the celebration.

Why NYC's most exclusive social clubs are hot with investors
Not since the 19th century have New Yorkers been so keen on clubs. Suddenly, everybody who is anybody has joined up with a schmoozy society outlet catering to seemingly every interest and income bracket — from Casa Cipriani for the social set, to the Leash Club for canine parents. Even the old guard along West 44th Street, aka Club Row, as well as other yesteryear organizations like the National Arts Club, Lotos Club and University Club, are attracting fresh faces anew. 'I'm a wonderful guest at most of the city's clubs, but I tend to be drawn to the old-school clubs of New York where you are stepping back in time,' said residential broker Mike Fabbri of the Agency, who lives in Gramercy Park and is joining the nearby National Arts Club. 'After COVID, there's been a resurgence of people wanting to belong and have a community.' 5 Even heritage haunts like the National Arts Clubs are booming. Getty Images for The National Arts Club But it's not just a spirit of bonhomie or overcrowded restaurants that are driving New Yorkers into exclusive sets — it's smart money. Unlike a typical restaurant, bar or gathering space, a membership model allows founders and operators to avoid taxes. That's because social clubs are considered nonprofits, where the Benjamins remain in the club's pockets and fund member benefits. As long as earnings aren't used to the private benefit of any particular person, a club is in the clear per the IRS. Better still, 35% of a social club's revenue can even come from non-member sources, including investment income. But taxes must be paid on up to 15% of the income from non-members who are not a guest of members — i.e. public walk-ins. And there's absolutely nothing on this earth that real estate investors love more than saving on taxes. Financier John Paulson, who recently purchased the storied Princeton Club's defaulted mortgage, told Page Six he may turn it into a place for 'vibrant 20- and 30-year-olds' as 'their place to go.' And no wonder Jeff Klein dropped $130 million to build out the new 'it' club, the San Vicente West Village in the Jane Hotel. 5 The new San Vicente West Village club cost $130 million. Helayne Seidman Initiation costs a reported $3,200 to $15,000 with annual dues of $1,800 to $4,200 depending on age. 'We've gotten a lot of inquiries from social clubs for properties we represent,' said Lee Block of RTL (previously Winick). 'There's a lot of activity for that in the city.' London's celebrity haunt Anabelle's opened in 1963 and has had several iterations. But the founder's son, Robin Brierly, has now collaborated with stateside owners the Reuben Brothers on Maxime's, which opened in March in the former Westbury Hotel at 848 Madison Ave. The Twenty Two, another London-based club, opened late last year in the Reuben Brothers' 16 E. 16th St. in the Flatiron District by Union Square and includes a public restaurant and hotel along with the private club and rooftop nightclubs. Meanwhile, Miami hotspot Casa Tua opened at the new Surrey hotel at 20 E. 76th St. It has an annual fee of $4,300 that rises to $7,000 if you want to visit its other locations in Aspen and Miami (after initiation fees). But the restaurant is open to non-members. 5 It costs $3,400 a year to party at Casa Tua in the Upper East Side. Olga Ginzburg for NY Post 'Casa Tua is the new hot spot,' said Lisa Simonsen, a residential broker with Brown Harris Stevens who belongs to 'a lot' of clubs. 'I join the ones that fit me and my family.' Social clubs hunting for a house have been eyeing 26 Little W. 12th St. in the Meatpacking District, brokers said. 'There's a lot of action on it from various member clubs looking to expand here or coming here from overseas,' said Jared Epstein of Aurora Capital Associates. 'It makes a lot of sense because it looks over the Hudson River.' 5 Thank city real estate players who see private clubs like Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Chez Margaux as surefire assets with guaranteed revenue. WWD via Getty Images Nearby, Jean-Georges Vongerichten turned his former Spice Market restaurant at 403 W. 13th St. into the elegant Chez Margaux dining club. Fees range from $1,800 to $2,600 annually, depending on age, with an initiation of $1,000 to $2,000. Chez Margaux is not far from where the now publicly traded global Soho House and its celebrity-packed rooftop heated pool became the club du jour when it opened in 2003 at 29-35 Ninth Ave. Fittingly, Vongerichten's partner in the club is developer Michael Cayre of Midtown Equities who bought Soho House from Ron Burkle in 2012. He's also a partner in the luxurious redevelopment of the Lower Manhattan Battery Maritime Building into the private and successful Casa Cipriani. 'If you travel a lot, Soho House has sites globally but it went public and doesn't feel as exclusive and culturally relevant anymore and has lost its luster,' opined Brandon Charnas, a commercial broker with Current Real Estate Advisors. 5 Zero Bond helped prove the club business model to investors. dzobel Charnas rebranded and leased Zero Bond and then helped prominent night club founder Scott Sartiano launch the club during COVID in 2020. Zero Bond's 'no photos' policy helped it become a celebrity haunt for Taylor Swift and Leonardo DiCaprio. Elon Musk threw a party here in 2021, the same year frequent late-night Zero Bond flier, Mayor Eric Adams, held his Election Day night victory party and hosted folks in a VIP room unlocked with a fingerprint scanner. Midtown building owner Craig Deitelzweig of Marx Realty is currently negotiating leases with two different social clubs for his office properties in New York and DC. 'Our buildings have a social club kind of feel and there is a natural gravitation to them by the clubs that adds to the cache of the building,' Deitelzweig said. 'The clubs like buildings that have some heritage and a cool vibe.' 'Being in a real members club is like belonging to a community — it's not selling immediate access but selling relationships.' Brandon Charnas, commercial broker with Current Real Estate Advisors Each of the clubs will have their own restaurant, Deitelzweig said, while the DC club will allow all tenants to use their terrace. 'People love them in the post-COVID world because they want to be social and form their own networks,' he said. Most building owners believe social clubs are a 'solid amenity,' explained Robert Gilman, a CPA with the accounting firm Anchin. For instance, at Hudson Yards, Gilman says ZZ's Club has been 'a standout.' Operated by Major Food Group, in 37 Hudson Yards, its moniker comes from founder Jeff Zalaznick's nickname. It includes a Japanese restaurant, a cigar terrace, a lounge with music programming and has a private location for its restaurant Carbone. The website shows $20,000 for initiation and $10,000 in annual fees. Developer Rabina's hot new residential and office tower in Midtown at 520 Fifth Ave. will also open a five-story social club, Moss, that will have a sauna, a cold plunge pool and a hammam plus spaces for podcasting, dining and events. But the sheer number of new clubs has some in the biz worried. Charnas warns members clubs are swelling into a 'dotcom bubble.' 'Everyone is launching them,' Charnas said. 'Not all of them will survive. They are getting their upfront dues while restaurants are calling themselves 'member clubs.' Being in a real members club is like belonging to a community — it's not selling immediate access but selling relationships.'

Mother of 5-year-old girl killed in Franklin crash by accused drunk driver has also died, DA says
A vigil is planned for the mother of a 5-year-old girl killed in a crash by an accused drunk driver in Franklin over Memorial Day weekend who has also died. Minaben Patel, 38, of Franklin, has died days after the May 24 crash that killed her daughter, Krisha Patel, 5, according to the district attorney and a Facebook post by the SAFE Coalition on Tuesday afternoon. 'The Norfolk District Attorney's Office and the Franklin Police Department are saddened by the loss to Minaben's family and we extend our heartfelt condolences,' Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey and Franklin Police Chief Thomas Lynch said in a statement Tuesday. A vigil for Minaben Patel is planned for 6 p.m. Thursday at the crash site on Grove Street in Franklin, The SAFE Coalition, a Franklin-based nonprofit group, said in its Facebook post. Another vigil was held for her daughter, Krisha Patel, at the site last Wednesday. 'We would like to share, through the families wishes, that Minaben Patel, mother of sweet Krisha, has passed away,' the SAFE Coalition said in its post. 'Minaben's family is again deeply thankful for all the love and support shared over the last week,' the group said. 'They invite the community to honor this amazing Mother, Wife, Family Member and friend this Thursday for a service of remembrance.' The driver accused in the fatal crash, James Blanchard, 21, of Franklin, was ordered held on $250,000 cash bail following his arraignment on May 27. A not guilty plea was entered on Blanchard's behalf. He is charged with motor vehicle homicide while driving negligently and under the influence of alcohol, three counts of driving under the influence of alcohol and causing serious bodily injury, negligent driving, driving a motor vehicle with an open container of alcohol, and marked lanes violation, according to Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey. It was immediately unclear Tuesday if Blanchard would face additional charges in the case. Boston 25 has reached out to Morrissey's office for comment. During his arraignment, prosecutor Christopher Meade said Blanchard told police he had two beers while at a landscaping job on Saturday, May 24 after working that morning at his job as a mechanic. When he left his landscaping job, he opened a 1.75 liter bottle of Tito's vodka. He began drinking straight out of the bottle and drove home in his truck, Meade said during the arraignment in Wrentham District Court. Investigators later found a second, empty 1.75 liter bottle of Tito's in his truck that Blanchard told police was 'from the night before,' Meade said. While driving home around 6:22 p.m. Saturday, May 24, Blanchard crashed into a Honda Accord carrying a family of four on Grove Street in Franklin, Meade said. They were going to Blackstone for a family birthday party. The 5-year-old girl died following the crash, Meade said. Her mother and brother were taken to a local hospital in critical condition. The brother's condition was not known on Tuesday. Her father, the driver of the Honda, was treated and released. Defense attorney Timothy Flaherty had asked the court during Blanchard's arraignment to impose a lesser amount of $10,000 cash bail, with conditions for his release to include electronic monitoring and that he enter an alcohol rehabilitation center. 'It's probably the right place for this young man at this time,' Flaherty said during the arraignment. 'It's a significant case but significant penalties. But I can tell the court that this young man is not a risk of flight.' An autopsy will be performed to determine a cause of Minaben Patel's death, the district attorney said. Meanwhile, services were held for Krisha Patel on May 31, according to the girl's obituary. 'Our hearts are broken as we say goodbye to such a precious little soul. In her short time with us, she filled the world with laughter, wonder, and love,' her obituary states. 'Her smile could brighten the darkest day, and her kind heart touched everyone she met.' 'Though her time here was far too brief, her spirit will forever live on in the hearts of all who loved her,' her obituary states. 'We will carry her memory with us always - like a beautiful, shining star in the sky. May she rest peacefully, wrapped in love and light.' The crash remains under investigation by Franklin Police, the Norfolk District Attorney's Office and the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section.
