Event raises funds to help those with intellectual, developmental differences

Posted

The Angelwood Annual Celebration: Soaring Possibilities took place Aug. 21 at the Sawgrass Marriott. It was also streamed live via Facebook.

The event had a beach theme with casual attire, games inside and outside and a strolling dinner at four food stations. The program included a welcome from presenting sponsor Rachel DuBois and Robin Wahby of Wahby Financial Group, a live and silent auction and a standing ovation for the Angelwood Staff that were watching from Angelwood’s six group homes.

Firehouse Subs was awarded Corporate Sponsor of the Year and Michelle Mollenhour was the Soaring Possibilities Award winner.

Funds raised from this event will help support children, adults and families living with intellectual and developmental differences in the greater Jacksonville area.

Since 1993, Jacksonville-based nonprofit Angelwood has been serving children, adults, seniors and families living with intellectual and developmental differences such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and spina bifida. 

Over the years, Angelwood’s services have developed in response to community needs. Angelwood provides support to more than 300 individuals and their families in residential group homes, supported employment, adult day training programs and holiday and summer day camps.
