Toast to the Animals ‘highly successful’
More than 450 people made life better for ill and injured animals at the Jax Humane Society’s annual fundraising event.
Jacksonville Jaguars General Manager David Caldwell and his wife Joelle co-chaired the event, which was hosted by Jaguars mascot Curtis Dvorak, also known as “Jackson De Ville.”
Those in attendance tasted wine, beer, appetizers and desserts from local breweries and vendors. Sponsors of the event included North Florida Sales, Veterinarian Specialists, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Petco Foundation.
Through event sponsors, live and silent auctions, raffles, ticket sales, and donations, more than $130,000 was raised at the event. All proceeds will benefit the JHS Medical Fund.
“The event was highly successful,” Community Relations Coordinator Diana Fox said.
