The 35th Annual Red Rose Ball’s theme, Remembering our History, Embracing our Future, drew patrons to the sold-out event of the social season. Each year, the ball raises money for various projects administered by St. Vincent’s HealthCare, a member of Ascension, the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit healthcare system. Last year, the event raised almost $400,000.

This year, all proceeds raised at the gala will benefit the St. Vincent’s Mobile Health Outreach Ministry, which provides free medical care to those who are struggling the most, including uninsured or under insured men, women and children throughout Northeast Florida. The ball was held at the Jacksonville Marriott at Southpoint, Feb. 12.
