Blue Butterfly Gift Drive
Thank you for your support; all children in the Blue Butterfly Gift Drive program have been spoken for. You can still make a difference in their lives by making a donation to the Blue Butterfly program, or one of the many other programs the Tidewell Foundation supports.
Blue Butterfly Holiday Gift Drive
For families who are mourning the death of someone special, the gifts they receive at the annual Blue Butterfly holiday party are the only gifts they will receive this year.
You can create moments of joy for children and their families this holiday season by:
- Purchasing a gift for a child, teen, or adult from their wish list.
- Sponsoring a family or multiple families as a business or community partner.
- Making a cash gift to help us purchase gifts or sponsor a family.
To purchase a gift, make a donation, sponsor a family, or ask a question, please contact Megan Wenger at meganwenger@tidewellfoundation.org or call 941-552-7515.
Please deliver unwrapped gifts by December 5 to:
