River Garden Gala continues to draw generous patrons
The River Garden gala has helped educate the general community about the unique nature of the facilities, its national reputation as a model elder care agency, and what a special role it plays in our community. Jeff Parker and his wife Debbie chaired this year’s River Garden of Eden Gala and invited a long list of patrons, special guests, along with numerous sponsors.
As of press time, at least $220,000 had been tallied on the fundraising front thanks to the 623 generous patrons in attendance at the Sawgrass Marriott on Nov. 22. Twenty-one years after the first gala, the event continues to attract a growing crowd from across Northeast Florida who come together for an evening of good food, fine friends and fundraising for River Garden Hebrew Home and the Wolfson Health and Aging Center.
