Jacksonville, Fla. (Dec. 19, 2023) – The Daily's Foundation annual charity golf tournament at the Ritz Carlton in Amelia Island raised $875,000 for charity, with $575,000 donated to Nemours Children's Health. Aubrey Edge, president and CEO of Daily’s, and Max Glober, Director of Marketing of Daily’s, presented Nemours Children’s Health President and CEO R. Lawrence Moss, MD, FACS, FAAP with the generous donation, which will go toward their $5 million dollar commitment to Nemours Children’s. The Daily’s Foundation also raised $150,000 for the Tim Tebow Foundation and another $150,000 for the Sentinel Foundation.
“At Daily's, we believe that building a nicer community starts with a focus on our children. Our partnership with Nemours Children’s grants us the opportunity to not only support the cutting-edge care essential for children in need, but also to provide valuable resources for their families,” Edge said. “We are proud to support Nemours Children’s as they continue to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of the youngest members of our community.”
Nemours Children’s and Daily’s are committed to the health and well-being of children like Camden Christoffersen, diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) two weeks after being born with meconium ileus, a CF-related bowel obstruction. Camden and his parents, Haley and Christian Christoffersen, addressed the attendees, sharing their emotional story and their experience at Nemours Children’s.
“Cystic fibrosis is a progressive disease so we don’t know what the future will hold but the team at Nemours Children’s has given us the confidence that we can and will tackle anything his disease throws at him. Not only is the cystic fibrosis team at Nemours Children’s a set of amazing doctors but they have become to feel like family,” said Haley.
“Nemours Children’s Health and the Daily’s Foundation share a mission to improve the health of children and impact the communities in which those children live,” said Digan. “We are deeply grateful for Daily’s generosity, friendship and continued partnership as we work together to help create the healthiest generations of children.”
The Nemours Children’s and Daily’s partnership began in 2019. Daily’s has hosted numerous events in support of the pediatric health system, such as the inaugural Daily’s Foundation concert featuring Brantley Gilbert’s “Not Like Us” tour, and point-of-sale campaigns that encourage customers to donate to Nemours Children’s. In honor of their generosity and partnership, the Daily’s Foundation Pavilion at Nemours Children’s was dedicated in 2020.
