Spring Luncheon 


The PARTNERS Spring Luncheon brings together influential leaders from philanthropic, medical, and corporate communities to raise funds and spread awareness about the life-changing role nurses play in our lives. 

The luncheon, which serves as the organization’s premier fundraiser of the year, will benefit student scholarships and transformational faculty research at Cizik School of Nursing at UTHealth Houston.

 

2026 Spring Luncheon

“The Pitt” actor Ned Brower told Cizik School of Nursing at UTHealth Houston supporters that a small scholarship helped him earn his MSN from UCLA. Brower traced his path from model, to actor, to rock drummer, to emergency department nurse, and back to actor during his keynote speech at the 2026 PARTNERS Luncheon. The event raised a record $256,000+ for nursing scholarships and research.
