“Soaring Possibilities” was the theme of the 2024 Angelwood Annual Celebration, held Aug. 17 at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa.
This year’s gala featured a more informal resort/beach theme, with guests clad in colorful sundresses and sport shirts. Attendees perused the hundreds of silent auction items and an island-themed buffet and a presentation highlighting the accomplishments of the organization, which assists families in caring for their loved ones with special needs.
In addition to providing behavioral analysis services, Angelwood operates group homes in residential Jacksonville neighborhoods that provide 24-hour awake supervision. Angelwood staff coordinate medical and dental appointments, transportation and social outings for group home residents. The organization also operates a summer day camp in Mandarin for school-aged children with intellectual or development disabilities.
