After an evening of passion and tango dancing at The Carling in downtown Jacksonville, attendees to the Wellington Homes Tango by Moonlight event raised nearly $60,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and its mission to cure and control cystic fibrosis.

In a recent press release from the organization, the title sponsor said:

“I was proud to be the title sponsor of this event and would like to thank everyone who worked tirelessly to make it a success and raise money for such an important cause,” said Richard J. Dalton, president and CEO of Wellington Homes and title sponsor of Wellington Homes Tango by Moonlight. “Proceeds from the event and auctions will benefit the foundation and help those in our city and across the nation fight the daily battle that is cystic fibrosis.”

Sponsors for Wellington Homes Tango by Moonlight included Deutsche Bank, GreenPointe Holdings, Clockwork Marketing Services, Financial & Retirement Planning Associates, LLC, Dr. & Mrs. Albert Wilkinson, III, Rayonier, McNeal & White General Contractors, CFO Strategic Solutions, Moen Faucets, Insurance Office of America, and Dr. and Mrs. Gregory Hartley.

Since the first Moonlight event in 2002, formally known as Moonlight Martinis, more than $750,000 has been raised for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s research and care programs. More information regarding the event is available by calling the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation at (904) 733-3560.
