March 1, 2024 | Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota
The Tidewell Foundation’s crystal anniversary of the Signature Luncheon took place on March 1, 2024 at 11:30 a.m. at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, with a crowd of nearly 600 event attendees.
This year’s keynote speaker was Marilu Henner. Henner is a health advocate, famed movie, TV, and Broadway actress, five-time Golden Globe nominee, New York Times bestselling author, and memory expert.
In 2019 Henner became a spokesperson for the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. Henner has said that she believes hospice care is “one of the most important things that we can do for our loved ones at the end of life.”
Funds raised from this event support the free patient and community care services the Tidewell Foundation funds. Annually, the Tidewell Foundation ensures nearly 1,000 patients receive financial assistance to receive hospice care. Your support provides the community with care, compassion, and comfort during their final journey.
