A witty and inspiring discussion led by moderator Teri Hansen, President and CEO of Gulf Coast Community Foundation and featuring a fascinating array of panelists: Award winning journalist, former anchorman at NBC news and current host of Gulf Coast Journal, Mr. Jack Perkins and Champion of U.S. Open, British Open and Ryder Cup Captain, Mr. Tony Jacklin. Our third panelist will be announced shortly. Funds raised help support Pines of Sarasota, a non-profit organization that provides quality compassionate assisted living, skilled nursing and Alzheimer's/dementia care for residents, even after they have outlived their financial resources.
