Saturday Sweets: Second Annual Ice Cream We Love Event Benefiting Holtz Children's Hospital

The second annual Ice Cream We Love at Bal Harbour Shops took place this past weekend and it was a sweet event.  Jackson Health Foundation, the fundraising arm of Jackson Health System, has partnered with Bal Harbour Shops once again to host this fun-filled weekend to benefit patients in need at Holtz Children’s Hospital. If you missed the event, you can always make a donation to Holtz Childrens Hospital here.

Ice Cream We Love honors the legacy and philanthropy of Stanley Whitman, the founder of Bal Harbour Shops, whose favorite dessert was ice cream. Mr. Whitman is a longtime supporter of Holtz Children’s Hospital and his generosity has helped to save lives of children throughout South Florida.
