Hope took center stage at the Salvation Army of Northeast Florida’s 12th annual Red Shield Ball last month.
The evening, themed “Hope Shines,” took place at the Adam Herbert University Center on Saturday, Oct. 25, delivering a glamorous evening for guests while delivering a powerful impact for the organization and those it serves.
Guests enjoyed live and silent auctions, as well as live music performed by the Faze Band. Some of the auction items included a Sea Island Resort Stay Package, a hunting experience at Mossy Pond in Patterson, Georgia and a seven-day South African Safari adventure for two. Proceeds from the evening benefitted The Red Shield Lodge, which provides vital resources, services and shelter to families experiencing hardship. The Salvation Army of Northeast Florida has served as a beacon of hope to countless underprivileged men, women and children in the Northeast Florida region since 1891.
