Jackson Health Foundation hosted its annual Golden Angels Gala on April 27 at Ice Palace Studios in Miami. The gala recognized Jackson Health System’s critical contributions to the community, and celebrated the Golden Angel Society, the Foundation’s premier giving group, for their significant philanthropic impact in supporting Jackson’s mission.
The event brought together more than 750 guests, including corporate partners, philanthropists and community leaders, for a memorable evening dedicated to honoring generosity. The community tastemakers present included Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Jose L. Dotres, City of Coral Gables Mayor Vince Lago, among others. Six million dollars were raised through the generous contributions of the attendees.
The gala highlighted the success of the Foundation’s One Day for Jackson, a new annual day of giving campaign that brought the community together in support of Jackson – a nonprofit academic medical system and the only public healthcare system in Miami-Dade County. One Day for Jackson raised more than $550,000 on April 4, 2024.
“We are overwhelmed with the generous contributions from our donors who continue to support Jackson to fulfill its mission to provide a single, high standard of quality care for the residents of Miami-Dade,” said Carlos A. Migoya, president and CEO of Jackson. “Their dedicated efforts and generosity have allowed Jackson to remain competitive with state-of-the-art facilities and technology to help us optimize what we do best – provide world renowned medical care.”
In addition to celebrating the success of One Day for Jackson, VUMI Group, a leading international healthcare company, announced a major $4 million gift to support the exceptional care being delivered at Jackson Memorial Hospital and José Milton Memorial Hospital at Jackson West Medical Center.
