JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Nov. 21, 2025) — Nemours Children’s Health, Jacksonville announced today a $5.2 million donation from the Daily’s Foundation to support the creation of a world-class conference center at its specialty care location in San Marco.
Nemours Children’s and the Daily’s Foundation have a longstanding partnership, reinforcing a shared mission to improve the health and well-being of children and families. Since the partnership’s inception in 2019, the Daily’s Foundation has donated more than $10 million to elevate the health of children in Northeast Florida.
In 2020, the Daily’s Foundation donated $5 million to support enhancements of facilities in Jacksonville, with a special focus on the Nemours Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders — now known as THE PLAYERS Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. The Daily’s Foundation Pavilion at Nemours Children’s specialty care location in San Marco was officially dedicated in August 2021.
