The Women’s Board Celebrates Milestones, Sets New Goals at Spring Luncheon

There were more than one million reasons to celebrate at The Women’s Board of Wolfson Children’s Hospital’s annual Spring Luncheon, held on April 30.

The Women’s Board President Kendra McCrary announced that, between the 2024 First Coast Design Show, 2024-25 Florida Forum and other initiatives, $1,068,968 was raised last year.

More than 150 members and hospital leadership gathered at the annual meeting, including 14 new members, all of whom learned about The Women’s Board’s new funding target: a two-year $1.5 million pledge for an outdoor space for the 20-bed pediatric Inpatient Behavioral Health unit.

With Chris Heib as incoming president for the 2026-27 term, this year’s event leadership was announced, including the 2025 First Coast Design Show Chairs Sarah Allen, Mollie Peterson and Kate Sager and the 2025-26 Florida Forum Chairs Heather Creel, Kristina Powell and Kymberly Wolfson. This year’s speaker series will also host “The Eyes of the World, From D-Day to VE Day,” a Broadway-style, full symphonic multimedia production on Sept. 30.
