Pines of Sarasota thanks its top donors

Guests were all smiles March 14 when Pines of Sarasota Rehabilitation & Senior Care Community celebrated its top donors at Michael’s on the Bay at Selby Gardens. 

Event-goers consisted of members of the Giving Tree Society, which is a group of individuals who have all donated $1,000 or more to the organization in a single calendar year.

The luncheon began with a welcome from  President of Pines of Sarasota Foundation Estelle Crawford, who described a recent celebration that the center held for their residents who are 100 years old or older. Crawford expressed her love and appreciation for these residents, especially their oldest, a 104-year-old woman who taught Crawford to “never leave the house without lipstick on" — which reminded her to check if hers was still on.
