Texas Nurses Association District 9 Foundation

32nd ANNUAL NURSING CELEBRATION 

The Board and Planning Committee of “Nursing Celebration” eagerly anticipate the 32nd Anniversary of the Texas Nurses Association District 9 Foundation’s Nursing Celebration Gala. This event supports the Texas Nurses District 9 Foundation, ensuring the future of healthcare and excellence in the nursing profession by providing scholarships to nursing students and awarding grants to registered nurses in District 9. On Friday, November 8, 2024, the venue will be packed with Sponsors, Honorees, Scholarship and Grant Recipients, and Supporters.

“Nurses are strong, resilient, and innovative in dealing with multiple issues, including staffing shortages, moral distress, and workplace violence, but they persevere and provide compassionate care.  This celebration is a great time to celebrate all nurses and to recognize Outstanding Nurses who exemplify nursing’s contributions to the health of our community.” says Dr. Nancy Yuill, who served as the 2022 President of Texas Nurses Association, District 9. 

For 32 years, the Texas Nurses Association District 9 has hosted Nursing Celebration, an elegant Gala event dedicated to honoring exceptional nurses, awarding scholarships to nursing students, and providing grants for nursing research. These nurses and students live and/or work in District 9, which encompasses Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery, San Jacinto, Trinity, Walker, and Waller counties. District 9 (Greater Houston area) is the largest district in Texas, with over 4,600 members. Nursing Celebration, a charitable event, offers sponsors an opportunity to gain exposure within the healthcare community. We look forward to meeting with you to discuss the event, the nurses it supports, and sponsorship options. Together, we can recognize the work of nurses and provide support for their future endeavors.  

Your support is greatly appreciated and will benefit nursing scholarships and grant funding. For more details, contact Kelsey Saddoris at the TNA District 9 office, 713-523-3619 or email at tna9@tnadistrict9.com.
