AMWF20 HL Badge and ribbons 01AMWF Divas

Each year at the AANN Annual Meeting nurses can donate $50 to nominate themselves or a friend as an AMWF Diva. The nominated nurse is then presented with a boa to wear at the meeting to show everyone they are a neuroscience diva. All AMWF Divas are recognized in AANN's online community, the NeuroNetwork, with a badge on their profile. 

2021 AMWF Day of Giving

The Agnes Marshall Walker Foundation (AMWF) raised $2,930 on June 30, 2021 our annual Day of Giving. Every dollar donated to AMWF directly funds grants to support education, research, and professional development. Together we can make a difference in advancing neuroscience nursing!

Congratulations to the Triangle Chapter of AANN for winning the chapter challenge and donating the most money on the Day of Giving!

Thanks to everyone who donated. We really appreciate your support!

2021 AMWF Donation

Each year the Agnes Marshall Walker Foundation (AMWF) donates to a local organization where the AANN Annual Meeting is being held. Although the Annual Meeting was held virtually, AMWF made a donation to three local organizations in San Antonio, TX, where the meeting was supposed to be held. AMWF made a donation to Gabriella’s Smile Foundation which supports families facing Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma diagnosis, the TBI Warrior Foundation which supports veterans and civilians living with brain injury, and Ian’s Foundation which provides helmets to children in low-income families.
