Our caring doesn’t end at the operating room doors—it extends beyond our workday and manifests itself in giving our time, energy, and other resources to those in need throughout our state.
Because Caring Never Stops
Our Mission is to Provide Assistance to Individuals and Communities at Risk for Health and Wellness Disparities in New Jersey through Charitable Giving
NJANA CAREs is the philanthropic arm of the New Jersey Association of Nurse Anesthetists (NJANA), led by nurse anesthetists dedicated to making an impact both inside and outside the clinical setting.

On October 17, 2026, NJANA CAREs will host our annual Cheers to Change fundraiser at Last Wave Brewing Co. in Point Pleasant, NJ.
Proceeds benefit Tough2gether, a nonprofit committed to transforming the future for children and young adults facing DIPG and DMG, some of the most aggressive pediatric brain cancers.
Come enjoy a fun-filled afternoon with snacks, refreshments, a gift auction, and a 50/50 raffle — all while supporting a cause that uplifts our communities.
CHARITY SPOTLIGHT: LUNCH BREAK
CHARITY SPOTLIGHT: LUNCH BREAK
NJANA CAREs is proud to spotlight Lunch Break, a Red Bank–based organization dedicated to fighting hunger and restoring dignity for neighbors across New Jersey.
With the recent reduction in SNAP benefits, families are relying more than ever on local food pantries, and Lunch Break’s shelves are being stretched thin. We’re inviting all NJANA members and anesthesia groups to join us in supporting their mission by hosting your own local food drive in solidarity.
📸 Share your photos and stories with us at and we’ll highlight your efforts on NJANA CAREs pages to inspire others statewide.
Together, we can fill shelves, hearts, and homes across New Jersey, one meal at a time.
