On March 13, 2024, 80 of our 235 members were in attendance at our thirteenth 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.
Making an Impact, Inc. was the selected charity
We raised $23,150
