Honoring Nurses with Dignity

The Southwest Washington Nurse Honor Guard is a volunteer organization dedicated to honoring the lives and legacies of nurses who have devoted their lives to the service of others. Every ceremony we perform — from memorial tributes to living tributes — is offered at no cost to families. Our mission is made possible entirely through the generosity of donors, community members, and local sponsors.

Your sponsorship helps us provide the white roses, Nightingale lamps, uniforms, and travel needed to perform each ceremony with dignity and respect. It also allows us to train new volunteers, extend our reach, and ensure that no nurse’s service ever goes unrecognized.

Becoming a sponsor isn’t just about financial support — it’s about joining a mission rooted in compassion, service, and remembrance. As a sponsor, you’ll be part of something profoundly meaningful: honoring those who spent their lives caring for others.

Sponsors also receive recognition for their partnership. We proudly feature sponsor logos and business links on our website as a symbol of gratitude and shared purpose. Your partnership not only supports our mission — it reflects your commitment to the community and the nursing profession.

And, of course, it comes with something priceless: the good feeling of knowing your generosity helps honor the people who have dedicated their lives to healing others.
