The 1st Annual Double Down Gala is more than a night out — it is a commitment.

Across our communities, the nursing shortage continues to impact the quality-of-care patients receive every day. Behind every statistic is a real person waiting for compassion, skill, and presence. We cannot talk about strengthening healthcare without strengthening the nurses who carry it.

This evening was created in honor of Patricia “Nurse Pat” Edwards — a nurse who embodied excellence, dignity, and unwavering service for over 35 years. Her legacy reminds us of what nursing is meant to look like.

Through the Nurse Pat Nursing Scholarship, we invest directly into aspiring and current nursing students who are called to serve but face financial barriers. Scholarships. Mentorship. Support. Accountability. We are building more than graduates — we are building prepared, compassionate professionals who will step into hospitals and clinics ready to lead.

Double Down is our declaration that we will not sit back while the shortage grows.
We will invest.
We will mentor.
We will show up.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we honor legacy, celebrate community, and fund the future of nursing.
