OUR IMPACT HAS BEEN FELT THROUGHOUT THE FIVE-COUNTY REGION! SWFL Children’s Charities is dedicated to saving children’s lives by supporting the region’s growing pediatric health care system. Since 2008, SWFL Children’s Charities has been raising funds to support critical pediatric healthcare needs throughout the region including funds to help dozens of organizations serving our children in healthcare, hunger, mental health, education and more. Nearly $23 Million since 2008. But, there is so much more to do!

SAVE THE DATE FEBRUARY 21st & 22nd, 2020

This year’s theme is Painting a Difference: Putting Kids First. Throughout our region, there are pediatric healthcare needs not being met. Long wait times for families for ophthalmology and mental health services, students needing scholarships to attend nursing schools, families suffering and having to travel outside the area for life-saving services to name a few. SWFL Children’s Charities raises funds to help meet those needs throughout our five-county region.

We invite you to join us to Paint a Difference and put kids first as we kick off another festive season in anticipation of the Southwest Florida Wine & Food Fest. Join this year’s event chairs, Brooke Denson & Sandy Stilwell Youngquist and help paint a difference in the lives of our community’s children.

ABOUT US: Under the leadership of its Board of Directors and with the passionate and generous support of its Trustees, SWFL Children’s Charities has donated more than $22.8 million to local pediatric health care initiatives over the past eleven years making it the most successful fundraising event in Lee County and one of the top-grossing wine fests in the country. The trustees and sponsors underwrite the event and the nonprofit, SWFL Children’s Charities, Inc., and live auction proceeds go to local charities providing pediatric healthcare services in our region.
