Jackson "stars" shine at Golden Angels Gala | |
|
On Saturday, April 22nd, at Ice Palace Studios in Miami, Golden Angel Society members, generous donors, sponsors, and the community came together for this year's Golden Angels Gala, where we raised $3.5 million for Jackson Health System! The sold-out night with more than 900 attendees also commemorated the 30th anniversary of Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial, honoring its care team with a standing ovation. The Gala's theme, Sky Full of Stars, featured stunning decor and interactive experiences and ensured that everyone had their chance to shine, showing their star-studded support for Jackson.
Special thanks to our Gala Chairs, Jeannie Etter & David Coulson, and Jerry Cody, our Gala Committee, our Gala After Party Committee, our top sponsors, The Collection, Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, G City, Trish & Dan Bell, José Milton Foundation, Ryder, and Florida National University, and our incomparable emcee, six-time Emmy Award-winning journalist, Laurie Jennings, for making the evening such a huge success!
