Lighting the Way

On Saturday, May 3, MUSC College of Nursing hosted its 2nd Annual Lighting the Way Gala at the historic Francis Marion Hotel in downtown Charleston. The elegant evening brought together alumni, faculty, students and community supporters to celebrate the nursing profession and raise critical funds for future nurse leaders.

The event was a resounding success, with all net proceeds directly supporting MUSC College of Nursing student scholarships. These funds will help ease financial burdens for nursing students and empower the next generation of compassionate, skilled caregivers.

With Gratitude to Our Supporters

We are deeply grateful to our generous sponsors and the MUSC College of Nursing Development Board members for their unwavering support in making this event possible. A special thank you goes to Board Chair Pat Marr for his dedicated leadership and to Jane Manuel for heading the auction committee with energy and excellence. Their contributions were instrumental in the evening's success.
