Over 50 people attended Healthier. Wealthier. Wiser. Inc.'s first brunch buffet fundraiser at the Anderson-Price Memorial Building in Ormond Beach on Saturday, Dec. 7.
The event featured Tina Carlyle, of Access Senior Resources and Consulting LLC, as the keynote speaker. The goal of the fundraiser was to be able to sponsor 10 in-person health seminars in 2025 and add a new component by giving away two home device baskets at each seminar. According to a statement to the Observer, the baskets will include thermometers, blood pressure oximeters and glucose monitors.
"We hope we will continue to receive donations in December to allow HWW to continue serving our communities with 'Seminar Saturday Series,'" founder and Executive Director Belinda Davis said. "HWW will communicate the final fundraiser numbers in January 2025. This truly was a work in progress with pieces that came together to accomplish our goals."
In addition to the brunch — which was composed of grits and shrimp, salmon cakes, scrambled eggs, and turkey sausage — there were also holiday gift basket raffles.
"Our team of board, executive committee, family, volunteers came together to assure we had a successful fundraiser," Davis said. "We hope in our last meeting for the year the board decides to continue, and our fundraiser annual brunch buffet will be permanent and continue in 2025. Right now, I just hope and pray I enjoy this dream and journey."
