Jacksonville, Fla. (December 21, 2021) – The Daily's Foundation's annual Charity Golf Tournament at the Omni Amelia Island Resort raised $530,000 towards Nemours Children's Health. Aubrey Edge, President and CEO of Daily’s, presented Dr. R. Lawrence Moss, President and CEO of Nemours Children’s Health, with the donation at the event reception on November 30, 2021. The event featured two days of golf and a private performance by country artist Jessie James Decker. Daily’s Foundation also raised $25,000 for Hopekids Nashville, the charity supported by tournament guests Eric and Jessie James Decker.
“Daily’s primary community focus has always been the health and well-being of children and families. It is our honor to partner with Nemours and support the amazing work they do at The Daily’s Foundation Pavilion at Nemours Children’s Health in Jacksonville,” said Aubrey Edge, President and CEO of Daily’s.
Nemours Children’s and Daily’s both share a mission to improve the health of kids and families. Reign Jefferson, a 7-year-old sickle cell patient, and her mother, Elecia Goodman, attended the reception and addressed attendees.
“Nemours is like family,” said Elecia. “From day one, we were told there is nothing to worry about, Nemours will make sure we have everything we need to take care of Reign. She will be able to live a full life and do everything any other child can do.”
