An Unprecedented Year

Dear Friends and Supporters,

To say that 2020 was an unprecedented year would be an understatement.

health care system. But even in the toughest of times, our community steps

forward to help one another and our beloved institutions. This year was no

different, representing Sarasota Memorial Healthcare Foundation¡¯s most

successful fundraising year to date.

A TRANSFORMATIONAL GIFT

The Healthcare Foundation¡¯s Leading with Care, a $75 million fundraising campaign,

achieved an important milestone in supporting Sarasota Memorial Health Care System's

vision of bringing comprehensive cancer care to our community.

The Brian and Sheila Jellison Family Foundation donated $25 million to

generosity was born out of the family¡¯s own experience and a belief that no one

should have to leave home to receive the best cancer treatment.

In addition to the Jellisons, we also thank the many other donors who have

supported the hospital¡¯s vision to bring comprehensive cancer care to the

region by making significant gifts to our campaign.
