FinFest featured in Resident News
FinFest was featured in the June issue of the Resident News. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Supporters of the Jacksonville Speech and Hearing Center were treated to a beautiful night on the banks of the St. Johns River, when the nonprofit’s annual Finfest, themed “Take Me to the River,” was held May 20 at the Timuquana Country Club.
The co-chairs for the evening were St. Vincent HealthCare’s Interim President/CEO Tom VanOsdol and his wife, Kathy, and the honorary co-chairs were State Attorney Melissa Nelson and her husband, Jason, and Basketball Hall of Fame legend Artis Gilmore and his wife, Enola.
Thanks to generous sponsors, event organizers and donations of silent auction items, the evening was a hit for the 68-year-old organization. Founded in 1949 by the Junior League of Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Speech and Hearing Center last year provided services and relief to 4,136 children and adults struggling with hearing loss and hearing impairments. In August, the nonprofit will move to its new location at 1010 N. Davis St., one mile west of its current Laura Street location.
