SWFL Children’s Charities is dedicated to saving children’s lives by supporting the region’s growing pediatric health care system. A majority of the funds raised at the 2019 event will go to local organizations focusing on children’s mental and behavioral health to help fill an under served and vitally important need for Southwest Florida. 

LET’S MAKE WAVES FEBRUARY 24TH, 2019

AT HYATT COCONUT POINT RESORT & SPA

This year’s theme is Making Waves: Building Healthy Minds. Like water, we may not know what is happening below the surface of our minds and bodies. Every family has experienced the pain of mental health and we want to support the children and families who need our help the most. Nearly 1 in 5 families will face pediatric mental health issues and over 46,000 children in Southwest Florida have mental illnesses today.

Also new this year, SWFL Children’s Charities is pleased to announce it’s partnership with the Southwest Florida Community Foundation to assist with the grant awards process. Equally as important as the funds we raise, are the recipients of those funds. With a focus on collaboration, the Southwest Florida Community Foundation will assist us in awarding the grants to local organizations.
