The Sarasota Medical Alliance Foundation held a pre-party on April 21 at the Silverman residence. The party was hosted to film a video for the Sarasota Community Foundation's Giving Challenge. For the film, the party brought in a classic car, to which they filmed clips of the "cash car game."  

Board members of SMAF gathered in the Silverman's home for drinks, light appetizers and socializing before the Great Gatsby Gala started later that evening.
