The Empty Chair Dinner: Fighting Cancer, Sharing Hope

Join The Hadden Foundation on November 5, 2026, at The Salem Centre in Jacksonville, Florida, for The Empty Chair Dinner, an elevated evening featuring an unforgettable dinner experience, inspiring speakers, powerful stories, meaningful connections, and a curated Silent Auction. More than a fundraising gala, this special evening marks the launch of our inaugural Somebody Cares Initiative: Fighting Cancer. Sharing Hope., dedicated to bringing comfort, practical support, and encouragement to individuals and families impacted by cancer. Every seat filled helps us turn compassion into action and reminds someone facing life’s hardest moments that they are seen, valued, loved, and never alone. Because Hope Begins When Somebody Cares.
