The Salvation Army of Northeast Florida is planning its 12th Annual Red Shield Ball, which is set for 6-11 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Adam Herbert University Center, located at 12000 Alumni Drive on the University of North Florida campus.
This year’s gala, themed “Hope Shines,” promises an inspiring evening filled with entertainment, celebration and a shared commitment to giving back. Guests will enjoy a glamorous night while making a meaningful impact on the lives of the most vulnerable in the community.
All proceeds from the event directly support The Red Shield Lodge, located in The Towers Center of Hope, which provides critical shelter, services and resources to local individuals and families experiencing hardship.
Evening highlights include both a live and silent auction, featuring unique items and one-of-a-kind experiences. The silent auction kicks off at 6 p.m., so arrive early to start bidding.
Then, dance the night away on a vibrant, light-up dance floor, with live music by the Faze Band.
Premier tickets are $200 and $150 for Echelon members (40 and under). Tickets and table sponsorships can be purchased at https://tinyurl.com/yz82mk5u.
