Donate
Your generosity helps us continue our mission of honoring nurses with the
dignity, respect, and gratitude they have earned through a lifetime of
caring for others.
What your donation pays for
Our organization is supported entirely by the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of our community. Your support allows us to continue honoring nurses with the dignity, respect, and recognition they so greatly deserve.
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us connote our mission of
celebrating nurses who have given so much in service to others. Your
donations help provide the meaningful details that make each tribute
possible, including:
- 1
Nigtingale lamps, roses, presentation boxes, blankets and pins
presented during our ceremonies - 2
Cost of staining, engraving and embroidering the boxes and blankets
- 3
Booth supplies and materials needed for nursing school graduations,
and community exhibits, as well as convention costs for our members
Thank you for helping us honor the hands that have healed, the hearts that have cared, and the nurses who have made a lasting difference.
Who makes the boxes and the blankets
The East Tennessee Nurse Honor Guard would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dwayne Frye with Frye Wood Design, for his incredible talent, craftsmanship, and care in engraving the beautiful boxes we present to families during our Nightingale Tributes.
We are also deeply grateful to Deba Thrasher with Sew What Embroidery for her skill and expertise in embroidering the blankets we present during our Living Tributes.
These meaningful gifts are an important part of how we honor nurses and provide comfort to their families. It is a privilege to partner with two outstanding local small businesses whose craftsmanship helps us make these tributes even more special.
We are proud to support these businesses while also being responsible stewards of the generous contributions entrusted to us. Every donation allows us to continue providing these services and honoring the nurses who have dedicated their lives to caring for others.
Thank you, Frye Wood Design and Sew What Embroidery, for helping us honor our nurses with such thoughtfulness, skill, and heart.
