Wellington Community Foundation Supports Children, Veterans & Seniors 
Join In The Effort At Nov. 8 Event

The Wellington Community Foundation invites you to the ninth annual Red, White & Blue Jeans: “A Salute to Our Heroes” event, taking place Friday, Nov. 8. This heartfelt gathering will be held at the Wellington National Golf Club from 6:30 to 10 p.m.

Your presence is not just welcomed; it’s cherished. In a world where community connections matter more than ever, this event is a powerful reminder of what the community can achieve when it comes together with a common purpose. This year, the foundation aims to raise $100,000 to support vital initiatives for children, seniors and veterans right here in Wellington.

The impact of your contributions is priceless. Picture a child stepping into their first day of school, proudly wearing a new uniform and carrying a backpack filled with supplies, ready to embrace the year ahead. Visualize a senior receiving a lovely bouquet and a heartfelt card on their birthday, brightening their day, and reminding them of their importance. Consider veterans receiving essential home modifications, such as grab bars and ramps, enabling them to live safely and independently in their home. And let’s not forget the seniors who will enjoy a warm Thanksgiving meal, bringing joy and comfort to their holiday.

These are not just programs; they are lifelines. They represent a collective commitment to addressing the hidden needs within the Wellington community, where affluence and need coexist in surprising ways. With your support, the foundation can transform lives, ensuring that every child has the resources to learn, every senior feels valued, and every veteran has the opportunity to thrive through education.

The Wellington Community Foundation cannot achieve its ambitious $100,000 goal without your help. Every dollar contributed will go directly to these essential programs, ensuring that your generosity creates real, lasting change.

Whether you choose to make a substantial donation or a smaller gift, know that every contribution matters. Together, you can help bridge gaps, uplift lives and create a more compassionate community.

The foundation thanks you for your unwavering support and belief in the power of coming together for a greater cause. The Nov. 8 event will be a celebration of the community’s strength and generosity, and a testament to the shared commitment to “Building a Stronger Community.”

The foundation is proud to acknowledge sponsor Wellington Regional Medical Center, as well as the dozens of local businesses and community leaders whose generosity makes this event possible. Tickets are available for $100 each, with table sponsorship options at $1,250 for a party of eight — an ideal way to enjoy this special night while championing a meaningful cause.
