The 37th Annual Red Rose Ball, themed “For the Love of the Rose,” was hosted by St. Vincent’s HealthCare Foundation Feb. 16 at the Jacksonville Marriott at Southpoint.

The black-tie affair featured cocktails, dinner and dancing, as well as a silent auction and a live auction. Co-chairs for the event were Sonnie Kim-Ashchi, M.D. and Majdi Ashchi, D.O, Seana and Matthew McAfee, and Tracy and David Williams.

This year, the proceeds will benefit Ascension St. Vincent’s women and children programs. The funds will support equipment like The Panda Warmer, a multi-functional infant bed used when temperature is a critical concern.

“The Red Rose Ball is a wonderful event which helps us fulfill our Mission to provide compassionate care to all people in our community, no matter where they are in life,” said St. Vincent’s HealthCare Foundation President, Jane R. Lanier, CFRE. “Each year, our sponsors and patrons help us raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for programs that help make our community healthier for all.”
