The third annual Harold V. Lucas, Jr. Foundation Gala will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort.
The nonprofit will honor four people at the Lucas Fall Ball with its Community Icon Award: Retired DeLand Police Chief William Anderson, local philanthropists Nancy and Lowell Lohman, and retired Wesh 2 journalist Claire Metz. This year, the foundation will also honor James and LaToya Carey with the Althea Beatrice Cato Lucas Rising Star award for their community work.
The Harold V. Lucas, Jr. Foundation was formed in 2020 and is based in Daytona Beach. The Lucas Fall Ball is the nonprofit's annual fundraiser. To date, it has provided $21,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors in Volusia County, given away backpacks to K-12 students, contributed to The Chiles Academy, the Pace Center for Girls and the Volusia Flagler Boys & Girls Club, received a Florida Historical Marker for a site in Midtown Daytona Beach, and more.
The foundation is named after Harold V. Lucas, Jr., 91, a lifelong resident of Daytona Beach, Korean War veteran, and former educator, coach, and college administrator.
