Nemours supporters celebrated at annual holiday event

Posted on January 3, 2018 By Editor Social Events

Nemours Children’s Specialty Care held a donor appreciation reception Dec. 7 at Epping Forest Yacht and Country Club to celebrate generous individual, corporate and community donors in 2017.

Approximately 60 guests enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and holiday cheer to music by Steven Amburn of First Coast Music Therapy. A video presentation created by Pepper Lindsey of Lindsey Films, Inc., gave an overview of the new music therapy program and Art with a Heart in Healthcare, two programs that serve the hematology oncology patients of Nemours and are supported by philanthropy.

“This event is a small way to show appreciation to our donors who help so many of our patients and families throughout the year,” said Dr. Michael Erhard, Enterprise Vice President and Chief Medical Officer for Nemours Florida. “Nemours treats every child regardless of their ability to pay and we could not do this without the support of the Jacksonville community.”

Hosted by the Nemours Fund for Children’s Health, the party is an annual affair, recognizing the achievements of various donor programs while celebrating the season of giving at the holidays.
