Charity is Alive and Well

For those who may have read the article citing Sarasota as "the Meanest City", I respectfully differ with the findings. Sarasota residents are unfailingly generous and give to a myriad of causes in our area. Want to join in? This weekend, the Annual Walk to Cure Diabetes will take place at Siesta Beach. The event is expected to draw more than 2,000 participants from families, local businesses, schools and community organizations. The 5K walk will begin at 9am at the Siesta Key Picnic Area.
