Thanks4Giving!
In our many years as the Registered Nurses Foundation of BC, everything that we are is because of outstanding support. This support takes on many faces – the dedication of our volunteer boards under exceptional leadership, our donors (each and every one, no matter the size of the contribution), those who are responsible for establishing one of our nursing student bursaries, often in memory of a loved one, staff members and finally but not least, our bursary applicants/winners.
What Our Guests Have Said About Our 1st Annual Nurses Appreciation Brunch
Here are some of the comments we have received from guests who attended our 1st Annual Nurses Appreciation Brunch.
The 1st Annual RNFBC Nurses Appreciation Brunch
Our 1st Annual Nurses Appreciation Brunch was a huge success. Held at the lovely Van Dusen Gardens on Sunday, May 7th, we recognized the contributions of families with a history of inter generational nursing and featured special guests – from our own board, Heather Mass who celebrates an amazing 4 generations of nursing in her family, and Kate Shields, a 2016 Bursary winner who is just beginning her nursing career ‘journey’. We also proudly honored nurses – past, present and future, who were in attendance.
