Nemours delivers for children, funds for care

Posted on September 3, 2016 By Editor Social Events

The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens set a beautiful backdrop for this year’s annual fundraiser, An Evening of Promise, on behalf of Nemours Children’s Specialty Care. The summer evening soiree brought like-minded sponsors and patrons to raise much-needed funding for patient care, research, outreach and education for the specialty hospital for children, based in Jacksonville.

The Honorable Mayor and Mrs. Lenny Curry were on hand to thank donors and mingle with other special guests. Thanks to the generous donations of local corporations, small businesses and donors, children will have a better chance to beat life-threatening challenges they face. The event is the single largest fundraiser for the nonprofit all year and it proved to be another elegant evening under the stars in the Cummer Gardens. The event took place Aug. 27 along the banks of the St. Johns River in Riverside.
