2026 Spring Into Nurse Wellness Benefit Gala a Great Success!
Thursday, May 7, 2026
On May 7th, the WisPAN community gathered at Marquette University for an evening dedicated to “healing the healers.” It was a night filled with gratitude, shared vision, and—most importantly—the power of connection.
The Heart of the Evening: Our Collective Story
The highlight of the gala was undoubtedly the courage of our speakers. By sharing their personal journeys of struggle and resilience, they brought a profound sense of honesty to the room. Their stories served as a vital reminder that while the path of a nurse can be challenging, it is one we never have to walk alone.
“Their vulnerability turned a room of attendees into a connected community, proving the immense power of our collective story.”
Impact and Gratitude
Because of the incredible generosity of our sponsors, donors, and silent auction participants, we are able to continue providing peer-led support and advocacy for the nursing workforce across Wisconsin. These contributions directly fund our mission to create a “safe harbor” for nurses and nursing students.
Join Us Next Year
If you weren’t able to join us this year, we truly missed your presence. The atmosphere of support and the impact of our speakers is something you have to experience firsthand. Be sure to join us next year—you won’t want to miss the chance to be part of this incredible evening of community and inspiration.
