During season in Southwest Florida, it’s not uncommon for you to have three or even five events on your social calendar on any given week. And, most of those to-dos will surely be for a philanthropic cause. That’s because there are few places more giving than our region. We all love to gather, dine, catch a show, bid at an auction and mingle with friends—but it’s all the better when we’re doing so for a good cause.
