Chapter Choice Award
2012 Chapter Choice Winners — Florida Gulf Coast Chapter

The recipients of the 2012 Chapter Choice Award was the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter, whose efforts went toward supporting “Barbara’s Friends.” This is a children’s cancer facility that provides resources to fulfill the treatment and educational needs of the pediatric oncology and hematology patient population and their families at the Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida. The facility's goal is to keep families together and provide local treatment so that these families are able to keep some normalcy in their lives and allow parents to stay physically and emotionally close to their sick child.
To help support Barbara's Friends, the proceeds from the chapter's annual golf tournament have been dedicated to this worthy cause for the last four years. This year in June, the chapter was able to raise $16,500. And due to an anonymous donor who matched the funds, the total donation was $33,000, a record the chapter intends to beat each year.
