Honoring Excellence in Nursing: 33rd Annual Nursing Celebration Gala
The Texas Nurses Association District 9 Foundation is proud to host its 33rd Annual Nursing Celebration Gala on Friday, November 14, 2025—an evening dedicated to celebrating the heart of healthcare: nurses. This special event brings together honorees, scholarship and grant recipients, sponsors, and supporters for a night of recognition, inspiration, and community.

Each year, this gala raises critical funds for scholarships and professional development grants, directly supporting nursing students and registered nurses in District 9, which includes Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, San Jacinto, Trinity, Walker, and Waller counties. Home to more than 4,600 members, District 9 is the largest in Texas and represents a powerful network of nurses committed to excellence in care and innovation in practice.

For over three decades, Nursing Celebration has been more than just a gala—it’s a platform to elevate the nursing profession, spotlight excellence in practice, and invest in the future of healthcare. The event also offers sponsors a meaningful opportunity to align with the nursing community and make a tangible difference through support of scholarships and grants.

We invite you to be part of this celebration. Whether you’re recognizing a colleague, supporting future nurses, or simply joining us in appreciation, your involvement helps ensure continued advancement in the nursing field.
