The nomination period for our eighth annual Celebrate Caring campaign is now closed. Thank you for submitting your stories of extraordinary nurses who showed what caring truly means.
Stay tuned to meet our 2026 Celebrate Caring winners during July and August.
Three winning nurses will be treated to exciting prizes, including a $500 cash prize, a $2,500 donation on their behalf to the nonprofit of their choice, a pair of Phillies tickets, and a celebratory event. The winners will also receive the Sunshine Award — named in honor of the late Paula Sunshine, former IBX Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Executive, who helped launch Celebrate Caring in 2019.
Nurses do so much to keep our families and communities healthy every day. Thank you for everything you do!
