WHOM WE SUPPORT

From our founding in 2002 through 2007, we have contributed approximately $800,000 to the Sarasota community in the form of grants, redonation programs and other kinds of support. We are particularly proud to be Season Presenters for the Asolo Repertory Theatre, and to have funded the redecoration of their lobby. We also innovated a multi-year, $60,000 airport marketing initiative supporting 42 arts organizations. Another special effort is the donation of dress-for-success clothing to such organizations as Suncoast Workforce Development and Second Chance Last Opportunity that help women reentering the workforce.
