2025 Girls Inc Daddy-Daughter Dance Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Girls Inc. of Jacksonville is an affiliate of a national organization whose mission is "to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold" or healthy, educated and independent.

A component of the Girls Inc. mission is to help the girls we serve create strong and healthy peer and family relationships. This annual event celebrates the powerful relationship between a father and a daughter as well as other positive male role models in young girls’ lives. These bonds can make a positive and lasting impact on girls as they grow into healthy, confident and secure women. The "prom-like" atmosphere of the dance includes dinner, music and dancing, photo booths, a silent auction and raffle prizes, and other entertainment that will make for an exciting night hosted by our corporate sponsors to include the Jaguars Foundation.
