HONORING INNOVATORS - $1,000 The 2018 Gala will celebrate the innovators of our time, those that lead the way during a critical moment in history. They listened and navigated thoughtfully. They responded and adapted with grace, spirit, and grit. Our celebration will honor the innovators that made the Medicare Hospice Benefit a reality, cared for HIV/AIDS patients, and brought national attention to quality of life at the end of life. NHF wants to showcase these innovators at the Gala in a unique way - through stories printed on keepsake postcards at every attendee s table. An investment of $1,000 will enable you to share their story with NHF and the hospice community. Your organization name and one story* will be printed on a 4 x 6 fullcolor card and placed at a setting on the table. This is the opportunity to honor an outstanding healthcare professional and/or individual innovator. For more information, or to submit your story (200 words or less), contact Joy Nguyen at (703) 647-5167 or jnguyen@nationalhospicefoundation.org Deadline for submission is March 30, 2018. BENEFITS INCLUDED: Keepsake postcard at the table with your organizational name and one story* Honoree will be recognized in perpetuity with an engraved 5x7 Tribute Tile to be displayed at the National Center for Care at the End of Life Opportunity to submit a video clip for NHF to use as appropriate for the Gala** All sponsors at the Garnet level and above receive this benefit for free *NHF reserves the right to edit the submitted story for appropriate content and spacing needs.
