Glasses raised for Surf’s Up night of giving
The 21st Annual Gala of Giving saw many glasses raised in honor of Catholic Charities and its emergency financial assistance programs offered to the community. The fundraiser, held Apr. 12 at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort, drew patrons from all over Jacksonville to support the agency’s goal of preventing unexpected homelessness due to financial crises.
