Honoring Nurses with Dignity

Through our Memorial and Living Tributes, we honor nurses for a lifetime of compassion, dedication, and service. Each ceremony is performed with dignity and gratitude — a final thank-you to those who gave so much of themselves to others.

Every tribute reflects the heart of nursing: compassion, commitment, and care that endures long after the final shift.

Each tribute we perform touches hearts, comforts families, and reminds our community of the selfless spirit of nursing. With your support, we’ve been able to reach more families, train more volunteers, and keep this light of remembrance burning brightly.

Together, we preserve a legacy that reminds the world what it truly means to care.

Your contribution helps us continue our mission of honoring the lives and legacies of nurses throughout Southwest Washington. Donations provide the roses, candles, and ceremonial items used in every tribute, as well as outreach to families and communities.

Every gift helps us say, “Your service will never be forgotten.” We are deeply grateful for your generosity.

Join our team of compassionate volunteers and take part in the meaningful work of honoring nurses. Whether you’re a nurse, student, retiree, or community member, there’s a place for you among us.

Not everyone can volunteer, and that’s okay — sharing our story, spreading awareness, or inviting us to speak also helps our mission grow. However you choose to get involved, your light helps keep the Nightingale flame burning bright.

Our sponsors help sustain the mission by providing ongoing financial support that covers ceremonial supplies, educational outreach, and volunteer resources. In appreciation, we proudly feature sponsor logos and business links on our website and printed materials.

Partnering with us means more than giving — it means standing with nurses and their families in remembrance, respect, and gratitude.

Whether you’re reaching out to request a tribute, learn more about our mission, or explore partnership opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.

The Southwest Washington Nurse Honor Guard exists because of people like you — those who believe a nurse’s service deserves to be honored and remembered.
