"Thanks to their enduring commitment to education and experiential learning for all, area teachers and students are enjoying the opportunity to explore our community and the world around them in ways that were previously out of reach for many of our schools."
Tuttle Elementary School, Woodland Middle School and individual teachers from Bay Haven School of Basics Plus, Sarasota Middle School, Wilkinson Elementary and Tatum Ridge Elementary were all big winners at this year’s EdExploreSRQ ED-stravaganza. Thanks to the generous support of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County and The Patterson Foundation, each was the recipient of a grant ranging from $500-$1,000 to be used toward active learning experiences in their classrooms this school year.
Hosted by Sarasota County Schools’ EdExploreSRQ program, ED-stravaganza is an annual event that brings together representatives from nearly 50 local arts, culture, history, science and environmental organizations and teaching artists to showcase the experiential learning opportunities, or explorations, they have available to area teachers and schools throughout the year. All of the learning experiences showcased are vetted by the school district to make sure they meet state educational standards and benchmarks.
In total, more than 200 teachers and administrators from Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and Desoto counties attended this year’s ED-stravaganza, which took place during the fall. As part of the event, participating teachers and their schools were entered in grant award drawings to be used toward EdExploreSRQ explorations.
This year’s grant winners were:
- Tuttle Elementary School (School with the most attendees, north county - $750 from Community Foundation of Sarasota County),
- Woodland Middle School (School with the most attendees, south county - $750 from Community Foundation of Sarasota County),
- Karen Brown, Tatum Ridge Elementary (EdExploreSRQ Passport grant - $1,000 from The Patterson Foundation),
- Mary Wedebrock, Bay Haven School of Basics Plus (EdExploreSRQ Passport grant - $1,000 from The Patterson Foundation),
- Nohemi Hall, Tuttle Elementary (EdExploreSRQ Passport grant - $500 from The Patterson Foundation),
- Robin Murphy, Sarasota Middle (EdExploreSRQ Passport grant - $500 from The Patterson Foundation),
- Geneve Cawley, Wilkinson Elementary (Go Wild for Literacy grant - $500 from The Patterson Foundation).
“We are deeply grateful to The Patterson Foundation and Community Foundation of Sarasota County for making these grants possible and for their ongoing support of our program,” said Angela Hartvigsen, arts curriculum specialist for Sarasota County Schools and manager of EdExploreSRQ. “Thanks to their enduring commitment to education and experiential learning for all, area teachers and students are enjoying the opportunity to explore our community and the world around them in ways that were previously out of reach for many of our schools.”

Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight presented the agency’s first-ever Community Partner Award to Mike Quillen, co-owner of Gecko’s Hospitality Group yesterday. He and his business partner, Mike Gowan, are philanthropic leaders in the community as key supporters of Sarasota and Manatee County schools and several local non-profits including the Y Youth Shelter, Operation Second Chance, Sarasota County 4-H Foundation and UnidosNow.
Quillen became first to receive the Community Partner Award, which was created to recognize a company, organization, or individual for their contributions in support of the sheriff's office's mission and the citizens of Sarasota County. Quillen serves on the sheriff’s advisory board and is credited with working with other local business owners to create the SCSO Charitable Foundation. The goal of the nonprofit is to assist individual employees of the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office who are experiencing extraordinary personal or family need. Since its inception a few years ago, the foundation has helped several sheriff’s office members through personal and financial loss, and major medical expenses due to serious illness.
In April 2019, Quillen provided meals for more than 25 agency members who staged for more than 10 hours at a critical incident, in full gear. Because the crime scene was active and secure, Quillen arranged for a cab company to transport the meals to the scene so first responders were able to have a meal. In addition to his day to day support, Quillen contributes annually to the agency’s Corporate SWAT Challenge which benefits local youth programs. “I am honored to present this inaugural award to Mike Quillen and the Gecko’s Hospitality team,” commented Sheriff Knight. “The Charitable Foundation that Mike helped create has impacted so many lives at the sheriff’s office and their contributions are beyond anything we can ever repay. Mike is a friend, an advocate, and a staunch supporter of first responders. We could not ask for a better partnership.”
Quillen and Gowan were also recognized by SRQ Magazine in 2018 as ‘LocalPreneur of the Year.’
In December, Abel Gutierrez - a veteran who has been through very rough times but has received significant assistance from several area nonprofit organizations - was surprised with the gift of a car by SRQ Vets and the Goodwill Manasota Veterans Services Program team. Gutierrez had moved to Florida with a promising job prospect that did not pan out. He found himself broke and hungry but several area nonprofit organizations helped to get him back on his feet. Gutierrez found shelter at the Salvation Army; housing through JFCS’s Operation Military Assistance Program; furnishings through Streets of Paradise; and job search assistance, clothing vouchers, a monthly bus pass, and much-needed support and empathy from team members at Goodwill’s Veterans Services Program office. The gift of a car – donated by a veteran to SRQ Vets and fixed up by veteran-owned and operated shop Freedom Auto Repair – has already further supported his independence and financial stability. Shortly after receiving the vehicle, he was offered a land surveying job, with more responsibility and better pay, in Clearwater. With his new car, he was able to accept the position and now commutes each day to his new workplace.

Recognized in SRQ Magazine’s reader’s poll as one of the best events of 2019, plans are underway for the seventh annual Florida Cancer Specialists (FCS) Foundation signature event, Party Under the Stars, honoring Dave (1949-2018) and Bobbi Norris of the Make a Difference Today Foundation. Co-chaired by FCS physicians Dr. Fadi Kayali, Dr. Miguel Pelayo and Dr. Judy Wang, the event will be held on Feb. 1, 2020 from 5:30 – 11 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Sarasota, 1000 Boulevard of the Arts, Sarasota.
The 2020 Party Under the Stars, expected to attract more than 400 guests, promises to be a dazzling evening. Entertainment will feature a Joan L. Kidd, MD Fight for Life Concert Series performance by Powerhouse Next Generation, one of the country’s top dance/show bands, along with dinner featuring expert chefs and silent and live auctions with fabulous prizes.
Honorary Co-chair and FCS Physician Dr. Kayali said, “I, along with my colleagues, Dr. Pelayo and Dr. Wang, are delighted to be named co-chairs of this exquisite event in Sarasota. Together, we are hoping to make a difference in the lives of those people who are living with cancer and their families. Last year we raised $300,000 and we hope to top that amount.” FCS Foundation Board Chairman Dr. Michael Diaz added, “Since 2011, the FCS Foundation has given out more than $5.5 million in patient grants. Our fundraising efforts have surpassed our expectations and, as a result, we will be increasing the annual maximum individual grant amounts to $2,000 beginning January 2020.”
“Funds raised at this event help to make the cancer journey less stressful for those in need of assistance during their treatment, and it promises to be really fun,” said FCSF Executive Director Lynn Rasys. All proceeds will benefit the FCS Foundation, which provides financial assistance for non-medical living expenses to qualified cancer patients who are currently undergoing treatment in Florida. The FCS Foundation's overhead is paid by Florida Cancer Specialists' physicians so that 100% of donations (net of event expenses) benefit cancer patients in need.
Event tickets are $225 per person or $2,000 for a table of 10 and include dinner, live music and dancing. Guests are encouraged to wear cocktail attire.
In honor of the The Patterson Foundation's Honoring & Onward 10th Anniversary celebration -- in partnership with West Coast Black Theatre Troupe -- you're invited to a theatrical presentation entitled Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, a Walk to Respect. Frederick Douglass, a true radical with a fiery spirit, believed in racial equality for everyone. Douglass dedicated his life, writings, and career to abolishing slavery everywhere. Abraham Lincoln, cautious and considered, while opposed to slavery, was first and foremost a patriot intent on preserving the Union at all costs. These two self-made men, at a time when our divided nation faced annihilation, faced their differences with courage and compassion, forging a friendship that helped to end the Civil War and reunite our nation.

"We still think of mental health problems in a somewhat stigmatized way," says Jon Thaxton, senior vice president of Community Investment at the Gulf Coast Community Foundation. "It's just viewed as somewhat dirty. If you had emphysema, you would elicit sympathy from people. So why have we not afforded mental health illnesses with the same sympathy we have for other mental healthcare needs?" Thaxton wants a fundamentally different approach. The problem just may be that Sarasota, while perfectly content to put a ramp in for the physically disabled, lacks the interest in treating those emotionally hindered people sleeping on benches with the same level of accommodation. It’s why, in the past two years, philanthropic leaders banded together to press forward the care of those with mental health problems and improve the standing of these individuals in the system and in society as a whole. The hope is that with a little positive attention, more people will find a ramp to an easier life with the proper care to address what ails them.

Concealed and Revealed offers a unique selection of paintings by the artist, along with numerous objects from the Solomon Archive on view for the first time. Syd Solomon (American, 1917-2004) described himself as an “Abstract Impressionist” alluding to the fact that his work infused impressionism into the processes, scale and concepts of Abstract Expressionism. Solomon moved to Sarasota in 1946 with his wife Annie. His was the first work of contemporary art to be collected by The Ringling in 1962. His paintings were greatly influenced by climatic factors and reveal a fascination and concern for Florida’s aquatic environment. Solomon incorporated his experience as a camouflage designer during World War II into his painting. It is not well-known that he was also an accomplished graphic artist, who in his early years designed commercial signage for prominent hotels and businesses in Sarasota. Like his work in camouflage, Solomon’s calligraphic skill was essential to the development of his later gestural abstraction.
Syd Solomon: Concealed and Revealed is presented in partnership with the Estate of Syd Solomon and is accompanied by a 96-page publication with essays by former curator at The Ringling Michael Auping, George S. Bolge, Dr. Gail Levin, and Mike Solomon. The exhibition will include artworks from private collections and The Ringling’s permanent collection.

For the past several years, dazzling young bassist Xavier Foley has been thrilling audiences and critics alike with the stunning musical magic he makes with the essential but often overlooked double bass. Foley’s playing makes this largest and lowest member of the string family as important as any solo instrument. The Philadelphia Inquirer calls him a “spectacular player” and one who is “blissfully unaware that dazzling virtuosity is usually someone else’s job.” A native of Marietta, Georgia, Foley was also featured recently on PBS Thirteen’s NYC-ARTs and was named to New York WQXR’s "19 Artists to Watch” list for 2019. He has performed at Carnegie Hall and as a soloist with the Atlanta Symphony and Philadelphia Orchestra, amongst others. Joining Foley will be pianist Kelly Lin, a sought-after accompanist whose groundbreaking collaborations with Foley have dazzled audiences and been hailed by critics for their “agile interplay between piano and bass,” as well as their “radical, riveting reinventions of old classics.” The duo will be performing their critically acclaimed program that includes Foley’s reinvention of Mozart’s Violin Sonata in E Minor, that transposes the violin part to a range comparable to a cello’s; Schubert’s “Arpeggione” Sonata, D 821, which showcases Foley’s vast range, utilizing every bit of the bass’s vast sonic capability; their phantasmagorical take on Glière’s Intermezzo and Tarantella; and original compositions by Foley.
