On March 15, 2023, 82 of our 223 members were in attendance at our eleventh voting meeting. Members are able to nominate a charity while having a representative from the charity make the presentation. This format allows us to learn about three worthy Sarasota charities and our members’ passion for them.
Congratulations to all of them.
Good Samaritan Pharmacy & Health Services was the selected charity
We raised $21,750
Good Samaritan Pharmacy & Health Services also received a $5,000 matching grant by The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation, resulting in a total member donation of $26,750.
