Patient Story
Malia was just two-and-a-half years old when she began having serious stomach problems...
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped to make “A Night with Nemours” 3rd annual gala a marvelous success. This memorable night raised funds to support vital patient care and research for children with cancer and blood diseases being treated at the Nemours Children’s Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida.
We truly appreciate our generous sponsors, especially Skanska, our 2010 Presenting Sponsor, for their commitment to children's health and for taking a community leadership role in making this special night possible.
The evening kicked off at EverBank Field with cocktails on the Terrace Suite overlooking the emerald green length of the football field and a surprise visit from Florida Governor, Charlie Crist. The weather was picture perfect as Dr. David Bailey, along with hosts Jacksonville Jaguars kicker, Josh Scobee and his lovely wife, Melissa welcomed more than 400 guests to an elegant night of dinner and dancing.
Throughout the evening, guests also browsed and bid on a wonderful array of artwork, gifts, vacation packages and more at the silent auction benefiting the Division of Hematology/Oncology Nemours Children’s Clinic, Jacksonville.
One continuing thrill of the night was seeing Nemours care showcased larger-than-life on the jumbotron in the stadium, including a moving video about oncology care at Nemours Children’s Clinic and its impact on a young girl’s life.
At the end of the evening, guests took home a gorgeous portrait snapped by a professional photographer as a special memory of their "Night with Nemours".
We look forward to seeing you next year!
