Nurse Heroes Live! benefits from a generous gift by Sandi and Bill Nicholson of Santa Barbara, CA, from the 'Women Who Dared' art collection - the largest collection of work exclusively by women artists in private hands. The collection includes art spanning 2,500 years from all seven continents and tells the story of grit and perseverance of women in the arts while celebrating their incredible artistic talents. During the concert, select pieces from the 'Women Who Dared' collection were seen by the public for the first time ever, as well as messages from celebrity ambassadors Carol Burnett and Wendie Malick.

The 20,000 nurses of Northwell Health are the first beneficiaries of the Nurse Heroes Fund. Northwell Health is one of the largest healthcare providers in the US and the largest in New York.
