Dear Friends:


We are excited to give you a glimpse into all of the fantastic things we’ve been up to over the last month. First, our annual Golden Angels Gala was a resounding success, and we thank you for being a part of it. The event, which took place on April 22 at Soho Studios in Wynwood, raised $4.6 million to benefit Jackson Health System – the most ever raised in the Foundation’s history. We could not have done it without the generous support of our Golden Angels, sponsors, and donors, who came together to make this year’s gala one to remember.

 

Next, we are shining a light on Mother’s Day – the day the nation recognizes the amazing women who raised us. Throughout our lives, our mother figures have cheered us on, applauded us, and swelled with pride at every achievement. Happy Mother’s Day to all of our moms, stepmoms, bonus moms, and abuelas! We owe you an enormous debt of gratitude for all that you do. 

 

In addition, we are proud to announce that our 2021 Give Miami Day campaign was recognized with a national MUSE Creative Award for “Best Social Media Campaign.” Thank you to everyone who contributed to our cause. We're looking forward to this year's Give Miami Day in November. 

 

Finally, we are thankful for our Jackson nurses every day, especially today, May 6, National Nurses Day. Nursing is more than a job. It’s a calling that tugs at the heart and propels you to help others, despite the long hours, inherent risks, and difficult moments. To celebrate this incredible group of people who keep us healthy every day, we ask you to join us on Nurses Day by donating to the Foundation in their honor. Your donation helps fund the tools and programs our nurses use every day to provide our community with the best and most compassionate health care. We truly appreciate your support.


All the best,

Charmaine Gatlin

Sponsor Spotlight

West Coast University

We could not fulfill our mission of helping Jackson Health System make miracles daily without the help of sponsors like West Coast University (WCU). WCU has supported Jackson Health Foundation for many years, including through the pandemic and, most recently, by sponsoring the registration area at our 2022 Golden Angels Gala. Attendees had the opportunity to “Light Up Jackson” by donating to support one of the top public healthcare systems in the nation. Throughout the evening, donors received light-up balloons delivered to their tables as a small token of the Foundation’s appreciation for their help in enhancing Jackson and expanding its services. West Coast University stepped up in a big way and offered a donation match for funds raised during this portion of the event. We truly appreciate their support!

Parental Guidance: May 12, 2022, at 8 p.m. 

Topic: Cultivating Emotional Intelligence

PG1.png

As a parent, you have a responsibility to encourage your child to develop their academic intelligence. But their emotional intelligence is just as important. Emotional intelligence is the ability to express and manage feelings appropriately while respecting the feelings of others. It’s a set of skills that children can begin learning at any age.

 

During this seminar series, our medical experts will share educational information and family-friendly resources on this important topic.
