SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla. - Floridant -- The Sanibel and Captiva Island communities are coming together once again for a night of generosity at the 25th Annual SanCap Cares Island Celebration on March 28 at the Sanibel Community House. This Silver Island Celebration will commemorate 25 years of impact, supporting lifesaving pediatric care at Golisano Children's Hospital.

This highly anticipated evening will celebrate community, compassion, and giving while showcasing advancements in children's healthcare. Guests will have multiple opportunities to make a direct impact on young patients' lives. SanCap Cares committee members Kasey and Brendan Albright will serve as honorary chairpersons for the event.

Since its founding, SanCap Cares has played a pivotal role in enhancing pediatric care at Golisano Children's Hospital, raising more than $18 million since 2001. Over the years, community-driven efforts have helped fund lifesaving programs and essential medical advancements, including pediatric neurosurgery, NICU equipment, operating room technology, behavioral health services, and more. Contributions have also supported initiatives like Kids' Minds Matter and the hospital's Little Red Wagon Fund, ensuring that every child in need receives the best possible care.

"For a quarter of a century, SanCap Cares has rallied the island communities to ensure local children receive the medical care they need," said Valerie Tutor, SanCap Cares Committee member. "Our 25th anniversary event is more than a celebration; it's a commitment to the future of quality healthcare in Southwest Florida."

Fundraising efforts will support development of the Golisano Children's Hospital Surgery Center. With over 5,200 pediatric surgeries performed at HealthPark Medical Center last year alone, the new facility will expand surgical capacity, featuring four operating rooms, two endoscopy rooms, and larger pre-op and recovery areas, all in a setting designed to keep young patients and their families at ease. The Golisano Children's Hospital Surgery Center is expected to relocate 80% of pediatric outpatient procedures from HealthPark Medical Center, lowering wait times for children and families in need.

Guests at the Silver Island Celebration will have the chance to participate in a Give-to-Give auction, funding critical medical equipment and patient comfort items for the surgery center. With the support of presenting sponsor The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company, SanCap Cares continues to make a lasting impact on the future of exceptional healthcare in the region.
