Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation recently hosted the 21st annual Delicious Destinations event presented by Miller Electric on Sept. 8 and 9 at the AAA Five-Diamond-rated Ponte Vedra Inn & Club.
Chairing Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation’s Delicious Destinations 2023 event is a special
honor for two St. Johns County families – Cory Darling, Administrator of Ascension St. Vincent’s
St. Johns and his wife Brittany of Ponte Vedra Florida, and Sean McAfee, Vice President of
Nursing at the hospital, and his wife, Theresa of St. Augustine Florida.
Living as a homeless man with type 1 diabetes is tough, especially in Clay County where resources for the homeless are scarce. Ryan* was referred to our mobile health team for primary care and medication management following numerous, repeated admissions to the hospital for complications related to diabetes.
Sponsors, attendees and golfers made Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation’s 14th Annual Mulligans for the Mission special raising more than $238,000 for our Mobile Health Outreach Ministry. Your participation and contributions in the event, presented this year by HNI Healthcare, directly impacts our uninsured and underserved neighbors by providing them with free healthcare and essential medical supplies.
A normal day going to chemotherapy turned life-changing for Andrea Laliberte. In 2020, Laliberte was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. It was a second-hand story from an Ascension St. Vincent’s oncology nurse that inspired her to take on a new challenge in life.
After a two-year hiatus, Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation once again hosted Delicious Destinations in person. It was very special to celebrate the event’s 20th anniversary in the presence of our lovely supporters and donors.
At Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation, care is given to everyone in need. That’s why we’ve partnered with local nonprofits like Catholic Charities Jacksonville and Lutheran Services of Northeast Florida to provide critical medical care to Afghan refugee children.
Out of abundance of caution for the safety of our donors, sponsors, associates and community, we have made the decision to postpone Ascension St. Vincent’s Foundation Red Rose Ball, originally scheduled for February 25.
It is with immense disappointment that we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Delicious Destinations event scheduled for January 14 & 15, 2022. As cases of COVID-19 once again rise in our community, the safety of our donors, associates, supporters and fellow neighbors remains our number one priority.
We have so many reasons to be grateful this holiday season. Please take a few minutes to check out some of the stories of lives that were impacted this year through the generosity of our community.
