The Registered Nurses Foundation of Ontario (RNFOO) recently hosted its Annual Gala 2023, marking a momentous return to in-person events while embracing a hybrid format to ensure inclusivity for colleagues from across the province. The gala showcased a vibrant atmosphere, celebrated nursing leaders and award recipients, and provided a platform for networking and knowledge sharing. Let’s dive into the highlights of this remarkable event that left attendees inspired and reconnected.
We celebrated our award winners. Thirty three were able to attend in person and many attended via the virtual connection.
The guest panel of nursing leaders generated a lively question period that could have lasted another hour.
Our silent auction is one of the ways we raise funds to continue support of nursing students.
The RNFOO Gala received overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees, expressing their delight in being part of the event. Here are some remarks that capture the sentiment:
“What a wonderful evening Wednesday was. From my perspective, it was a tremendous success. The venue was great, food great, chatting great, and speakers great!”
“Thanks to all for an amazing Gala! It was great to be back in person and virtual to celebrate the award winners, connect, and of course raise some money!”
“It was great, our ONA board and staff that attended in person and virtually were very impressed. Well done everyone!”
“Thanks to all involved in the 2023 RNFOO Gala. The venue was a great choice to support the return to an in-person event. An excellent evening!!!”
