Celebrating Nurses. Honoring Excellence. Advancing the Profession.
Join the Illinois Nurses Foundation for an evening dedicated to celebrating nurses and the nursing profession.
Registration opens at 5:00 PM. Arrive early and connect with nurses, healthcare leaders, supporters, and friends from across Illinois.
The networking reception begins at 5:15 PM with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, conversation, and an early look at the evening’s raffle prizes.
A highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the 2026 Nurse of the Year Award. This recognition honors a nurse whose leadership, compassion, and service reflect the strength of the profession. The program will also include the Nightingale Tribute, a meaningful remembrance of nurses who have passed and the lasting impact they made.
Guests will enjoy a four-course dinner, followed by time to reconnect, celebrate, and participate in the evening’s fundraising activities. Raffle opportunities will include featured prizes and a 50/50 cash raffle. Last year’s winner received more than $1,500.
Reserve your seat and join us as we recognize nursing excellence, honor those who shaped the profession, and support the work of the Illinois Nurses Foundation.
A big thank you to our sponsors!
