Delicious Destinations Raises $420,000 for Ascension St. Vincent's Mission

Once again, Delicious Destinations brought caring philanthropists together for a weekend to remember: The Celebrity Chef By The Sea Luncheon and Main Event were filled with exceptional chefs, fine wines, and a shared commitment to our community. Now in its 24th year, this signature event continues to be one of Jacksonville's premier food and wine celebrations, and this year's gathering at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club was no exception.

But behind every glass raised and every course served was a deeper purpose. Together, our guests and sponsors raised $420,000 to support Ascension St. Vincent's full mission: bringing quality healthcare to every family throughout Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, regardless of their ability to pay. That support touches every corner of our community, from a mother receiving the prenatal care she needs, to a neighbor facing a cardiac emergency, to a patient navigating a complex diagnosis who deserves world-class treatment close to home.

This year's total was a 17% increase over last year and the most we've raised in the past decade, a reflection of the generosity and loyalty of everyone who joined us.

Thank you to our sponsors, guests, and volunteers who made this year's Delicious Destinations possible. Because of you, thousands of families across our region will continue to receive the care they need. You are changing lives.

We hope you'll join us again next year for the 25th Annual Delicious Destinations.
