The NightinGala, now in its 13th year, helps the University of Tennessee College of Nursing develop and educate the next generation of nurse leaders by providing state-of-the art technology, classroom space and equipment to receive the highest-quality educational experiences. The event includes dinner and silent and live auctions via HandBid. Silent auction bidding already is underway HERE and will conclude at the event. The program features the presentation of two awards: the Volunteer Nursing Champion Award, which recognizes an individual who is committed to improving healthcare and has made significant contributions to the community, and the Dr. Sylvia E. Hart Distinguished Alumni of the Year Award, which goes to a graduate of the College of Nursing who exemplifies excellence through outstanding achievement, creativity and service to their profession.
