Jingle & Joy Gala

A Holiday Gathering of Compassion and Community

Lower Cape Fear LifeCare is delighted to announce the inaugural Jingle & Joy Gala, an elegant new holiday tradition. Join us on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 6–10 PM at Aloft Wilmington at Coastline Center.

This festive evening will be a highlight of the season, bringing together community members, partners, and supporters to celebrate the joy of the holidays while advancing our mission of providing compassionate care and support to those in need.

Guests will enjoy a gourmet dinner, seasonal cocktails, and live music to set the tone for an unforgettable night. The celebration continues with dancing, plus exclusive opportunities to bid on unique items and experiences through both silent and live auctions.

The Jingle & Joy Gala will serve as this year’s seasonal recognition event in place of the Cape Fear Festival of Trees. Due to the upcoming renovation and expansion project at the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, the Festival will pause for the 2025 season. While the Festival has long been a cherished holiday tradition, the gala offers a new and exciting way to celebrate while ensuring continued support for Lower Cape Fear LifeCare’s mission.

By joining us for this special evening, sponsors, donors, and guests will make a lasting impact on the lives of patients and families throughout our region.

We are honored to create this new tradition and look forward to celebrating the season with all who make our work possible.
