20th annual Sweetheart Ball kicks off for 600 dads and daughters

The Junior League of Daytona Beach held its 20th annual Sweetheart Ball, presented by Security First Insurance, on Saturday, March 18, at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach.

The Sweetheart Ball is the premier father, or father-figure and daughter dance in Volusia County and the largest fundraiser for the JLDB.

The 600 attendees danced the night away and enjoyed various activities including a candy bar, mocktails, chance-to-win raffles, photo opportunities and more. With the money raised through the Sweetheart Ball, the JLDB supports its mission of helping women, children and families in Volusia and Flagler Counties through programs like the Diaper Bank, the Little Black Dress initiative and numerous Done in a Day projects with community partners.

 “We are honored to have given more than $1 million back to the community, thus far, through the programs we support,” said Kelly Marple, Junior League of Daytona Beach president. “The JLDB will continue to do everything in its power to help the women and children of our community succeed.”

 The Sweetheart Ball event sponsors include Security First Insurance, Ashford Investment Advisors and Progressive Medical Research.
