Golden Heart Luncheon Inspires Guests To Open Their Hearts
Keep your heart open and look for ways to
help others. That was the key message at the
Golden Heart Luncheon on Thursday, Jan. 16 at
The Country Club at Mirasol. Emmy and Golden
Globe winner Jane Seymour was the featured
speaker at the annual event that benefits the
Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation.
The afternoon was filled with stories of
hope and healing from former patients like
Lucky who has undergone four surgeries to
overcome a severe deformity in his spine. The
bubbly teenager inspired laughter and tears as
he encouraged attendees to purchase keepsake
bears for themselves and young patients. The
event set a fundraising record for the foundation,
raising $550,000.
