Celebrate Nurses At This International Event—Rose Parade 2013
We need your help in making this magical event come true!
Imagine Nurses being center stage getting all the recognition for the wonderful work they do in caring for their patients around the world? Is it possible? Can it be true?
Yes it is true. On January 1, 2013, at the world-famous Rose Parade, a parade float designed and decorated with loving care and appreciation for every nurse will travel down the parade route in Pasadena California. This unique and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is being offered to the nursing community and friends of nurses because of one nurse. Her name is Sally Bixby, RN, MS, CNOR and she will be President of the Tournament of Roses.
There is much to celebrate when you think about Nurses. Nurses touch the lives of everyone—at birth or death and in between—all of us benefit from the care nurses provide. This event provides
- An opportunity for nurses to get excited about their profession and work with other nurses to create this event
- A meaningful way for a nurse to recognize another nurse
- A fun way for friends of nurses to recognize that very special nurse
- A celebratory way to create history by placing nurses in the spotlight where they will be recognized and thanked on an international stage.
- Scholarships to nurses with funds collected and not used to build and decorate the float.
- A message to those looking for a meaningful career that being a nurse makes a difference in the world.
