THIS EVENT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW SPONSORSHIPS

Dear Friend of Nursing:

Nurses have had a powerful frontline presence during this unprecedented global pandemic the world, our nation and communities have experienced over the past year. Nurses have not only demonstrated compassion, but have used a high degree of critical thinking skills and sound decision- making while caring for those who were ill, and teaching prevention practices and administering vaccines to so many.  The profession of nursing has been brought to the forefront during the COVID- 19 crisis. NURSES drive Healthcare. Because of the significant impact on the pandemic nurses have had, The American Nurse Association and the World Health Organization have extended the Year of the Nurse and Midwife into 2021.

The Panhandle Great 25 Nurses is an opportunity to recognize Registered Nurses from ALL practice areas for their contributions to the communities in which they live and practice both the art and science of nursing. The success of the past 4 annual recognition events has allowed the Great 25 committee to allocate 33, 000 dollars in scholarships for nurses to continue to pursue and advance their education in the field of professional nursing and to provide healthcare to the citizens in their respective Panhandle communities. Building on the great success from the past events, this year 8 students will be awarded a $2000.00 scholarship!

 As we embark on our 5th annual Panhandle Great 25 Nurses celebration, we invite you to join our efforts to recognize 25 deserving professional nurses throughout the Texas Panhandle. The Panhandle Great 25 Nurses Celebration tremendously appreciates our past sponsors who have helped to make the event so successful. The committee would like to extend the 2021 sponsorship opportunity to our corporate, industry, and community business partners, as well as individual sponsors to help us ensure the tradition of the Panhandle Great 25 and its mission continues. Our hope is this award will continue to be recognized throughout the nursing community for years to come in the Texas Panhandle as an esteemed honor and prestigious accomplishment for the nursing profession.

The Panhandle Great 25 Nurses 5^th annual event will take place on November 4th, 2021, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Polk Street United Methodist Church.

Money received from donations and sponsorships is used only for event expenses and to fund nursing scholarships through the Texas Nurses Association-District 2.
