The Daily’s Foundation recently announced that their Inaugural Charity Concert raised over half a million dollars. The concert, featuring Brantley Gilbert, Michael Ray and Lindsay Ell, was held at Daily’s Place on Friday, September 27 with over 4,200 local fans in attendance.
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and appreciation for the support we have received from our community. The people of Jacksonville are incredibly generous, and I am so proud to announce that, together, we were able to raise $502,347,” said Aubrey Edge, President and CEO of Daily’s. “We thank you for your support of these local charities and how you have embraced Daily’s. We look forward to an even bigger charity concert at Daily’s Place in 2020.”
The concert launched Daily’s Foundation’s philanthropic mission in Jacksonville as all net proceeds from the concert directly benefited local Northeast Florida charities, including Nemours Children’s Health System, St. Vincent’s Mobile Health Outreach Ministry and K9’s for Warriors.
Maggie Hightower, Chief Philanthropy Officer for Nemours Children’s Health System, reflected on the impact the funds will have not only on the hospital, but on their patients. “The money that the Daily’s Foundation raised from their Inaugural Charity Concert will have a tremendous impact on so many Pediatric cancer patients and their families,” she said. “We are so grateful for Daily’s vision and generosity to work hand in hand with Nemours to support the children in need.”
In the past decade, Daily’s has contributed more than $4,500,000 in support of organizations such as the St. Vincent’s Mobile Health Outreach Ministry, The Jay Fund, Riverside Presbyterian Day School, Birdies for the Brave, Jacksonville School for Autism, as well as more than 20 area schools and numerous community organizations.
