Catholic Charities plans Black & White Soiree

Posted

Catholic Charities Jacksonville will host the Black & White Soiree from 6 to 9 p.m. March 11 at TIAA Bank Field’s Lower East Club.

The event will include a special cocktail reception with heavy hors d’oeuvres and an evening of dancing to live music from the Bay Kings Band. The evening’s festivities will also include the kickoff of Catholic Charities’ Feed A Family campaign, which helps fight local hunger by sustaining the organization’s food pantry for thousands of food-insecure families throughout the year. Last year, the event raised more than $100,000 for the initiative.

“The goal of the Black & White Soiree is not only to bring our community together for a dazzling evening, but also to raise crucial funds that help our organization continue to be a resource for the most vulnerable in our community,” said Lori Weber, regional director of Catholic Charities Jacksonville. “We’re grateful for the continued support of our incredible community as we look forward to another wonderful event.”

Tickets are $150 per person or $300 per couple. Personal and corporate sponsorships are still available. Go to CCBJax.org/ballandgala for more details.
