LOVE LIVES HERE
As we get older, life becomes less certain. What if an accident or illness makes it impossible to live without assistance? What if it’s time to find a new home that will help meet changing needs? That’s when our community counts on Pines of Sarasota. Now, we’re hoping we can count on you. We’re embarking on a multimillion-dollar project to bring
much-needed renovations to our aging campus. Every dollar donated will be matched by a $2 donation from the Esther & Harold Mertz Foundation. Please give generously. Our residents count on Pines for everything they need to live with dignity and freedom from worry about their finances. With your help, we can show them love lives here, and in your heart.
Donations to Pines of Sarasota Foundation can be made online at pinesofsarasota.org/Love-Lives-Here or by calling 941.955.6293. For more information, contact Foundation President Janet Ginn at jginn@pinesfoundation.org.
