The Daniel child services agency in Jacksonville raised $180,000 in a recent fundraising drive to celebrate its 140th anniversary as Florida’s oldest nonprofit of its kind.
The total, which included a $50,000 matching grant from the Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Funds, was $40,000 over Daniel’s goal.
“We were blown away at how strongly and how swiftly our supporters stepped up to help us celebrate our anniversary by accomplishing and surpassing the drive’s fundraising goal,” Daniel President and CEO Lesley Wells said.

The drive began Oct. 3 with a celebration of the organization’s 1884 Giving Society. For more information go to danielkids.org.
