Florida Forum is an annual speaker series begun in 1992, produced by The Women’s Board of Wolfson Children’s Hospital. It is a benefit which funds select areas and programs to enhance Wolfson Children’s Hospital, the only in-patient, pediatric hospital in this region. The Forums have enriched the intellectual and cultural life of Jacksonville for more than 17 years, while contributing more than $4 million to Wolfson Children’s Hospital.

Each Florida Forum season features high-profile personalities, such as Jay Leno or Colin Powell, who address informative and entertaining topics. Speakers are selected by the event chairs and an Advisory Board based on speaker availability and the results of an audience survey. At the end of each speech is an open forum with audience Q & A.

Following the Florida Forum address, major donors are invited to enjoy the company of the guest speaker at a private reception. Forum Presenters and Sponsors receive prominent recognition through print materials, advertising and media exposure. In addition, the major Presenter of the evening introduces the speaker and has a very special tour of Wolfson Children’s Hospital accompanied by the prominent celebrity of the night.
