ABOUT THE CCBN 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

CCBN turned 50 this year and we invite you to celebrate with us while uplifting underserved health communities. Help CCBN reach its $60K goal for underserved health communities and Nursing scholarships while celebrating and experiencing Nursing past, present, and future! Hear about Colorado's health and Nursing history directly from those who were there and grab an opportunity to get free health or health care skills education at the same time! Be present as a witness to the awarding of honors to those who have trail-blazed the health arena toward equitable health for all. It's all about the opportunity to do your part, in any way you can, to support equitable health care as a basic human right. Let's watch those donation dollars climb, together! Celebrate all 3 days, for just an hour, or any amount of time in between from Friday, August 18 through Sunday, August 20, 2023

This is a fund-building event to support the scholarships and free events, services, and education that have been, and continue to be, donated by the Colorado Council of Black Nurses Inc organization for 50 years and counting thanks to monetary and in-kind donations and sponsorships from health champions like you. 100% of net proceeds from the CCBN 50th Anniversary Celebration will be directly deposited in the Big 60 Fund, that has already raised over $7K of its $60K goal for Nursing scholarships and programs for underserved health communities.
