Hospital Patient Creates Signature Art forSouthwest Florida Wine & Food Fest Beneficiaries
The Reason
Nearly $3 million net raised for charity over the last 3 years
The primary beneficiary of the SWFL Wine & Food Fest, The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida is the most comprehensive facility of its kind in our area. It operates under the principle that essential healthcare services should be available to all children, regardless of their families’ ability to pay for such services. Seriously ill children with a range of life-threatening conditions are able to remain right here in our community with family and friends – instead of having to endure the stress and isolation of travel to Tampa or Miami. Children and their families can focus on healing, not unnecessary hardships.
