Miami, FL – November 23, 2021 – For 22 years, Jackson Health Foundation’s Guardian Angels have supported Holtz Children’s Hospital through their annual Guardians of the Children Luncheon.
On Tuesday, November 23, more than 500 philanthropists and community leaders gathered at the Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne to raise funds for patients in need at Holtz Children’s Hospital, and honor family patriarch Abel Holtz, who passed away in July. In partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue Dadeland the luncheon and fashion show raised more than $736,000 to support the greatest needs at Holtz Children’s Hospital.
“We are so thankful to everyone who made this luncheon possible this year,” said Flavia Llizo, co-president and chief development officer at Jackson Health Foundation. “Our Guardian Angels dedicate their time, talent, and resources to supporting Holtz Children’s Hospital, and this year’s luncheon was special because it was dedicated to Abel Holtz, a longtime supporter of Jackson who dedicated countless hours of his life to ensuring that every child in Miami-Dade County and beyond had access to the world-class medical care offered at Holtz Children’s.
