The 32nd Annual Red Rose Ball

Crowded gala ballroom dinner with projection screens and chandeliers

The St. Vincent’s HealthCare Foundation has committed themselves to bringing the power of hope, healing and new beginnings to our community. For the past 32 years, the foundation has hosted the annual Red Rose Ball and this year’s “Viva la Rosa!” was held February 8, 2013 at the Jacksonville Marriott, Southpoint and the night’s proceeds were raised to benefit the St. Vincent’s Spine and Brain Institute.

Moody Chisholm, President and CEO at St. Vincent’s HealthCare, kicked off the night thanking the jammed packed room of over 500 guests for their support. As dinner was being served, a special performance by dancers of A Social Affair Dance Studio dazzled the crowed and got everyone excited about the night to come.

As soon as dinner wrapped up, former Pro Football player Tony Boselli took the stage and the real fun began. Boselli with his great humor and stage presence auctioned off packages like a Hunting & Fishing trip in Aspen, a VIP Kentucky Derby experience and a Napa Valley Wine Extravaganza. The night concluded with an after party which showcased Mugwump Productions’ white leather furniture and glow bar, which gave the room a comfortable, elegant feel.

Katie Santilli, Special Events Manager for the St. Vincent’s HealthCare Foundation, shared with us that over $370,000 was raised for the Spine and Brain Institute and “everyone is very pleased and excited about the success of this years annual event.”

Sight & Sound Productions has been a proud sponsor partner of the St. Vincent’s HealthCare Foundation for years and provided the audio visual production services throughout the event. Give us a call at (904) 645-7880 or visit us at ssav.com to learn more about our services.

VP of Marketing, Sight & Sound Productions
Victoria Staszewski is VP of Marketing at Sight & Sound Productions, Florida’s event production company for the conferences, galas and trade shows that can’t go wrong. She joined the company in 2012 as a marketing coordinator, back when the job meant photographing events, mocking up stage looks for project managers and helping write RFPs. She ran marketing for Sight & Sound and its sister company Mugwump Productions as Marketing Manager and then Marketing Director for a decade before moving into the VP role in 2023. Before Sight & Sound, she ran game-day operations and video-board content for USSSA events in Orlando, which is where she learned that a show is only as good as the crew behind the screen. She writes about what happens between the first call and load-out: the planning decisions that keep a general session on time, the AV choices that make a hybrid meeting work for the people who aren’t in the room, and the questions most planners don’t know to ask until it’s late. When a planner reaches out through this site, Victoria is the first person who reads it.
