“You don’t have to do a lot of advertising for an event like this. It seems like there’s so many people in the community whose lives have been touched by Jack Nicklaus Children Hospital,” said David Cesario, chairman of the South Florida Business Council.
Cesario also took the opportunity to praise the hospital and its staff.
“It’s an excellent hospital, so people need to understand that they take care of anybody, regardless of their situations, with top-notch medical care,” he said.
7Sports’ Mike DiPasquale was also on hand to show his support. For almost 20 years, participants throughout the country have raised over $15 million to help local children’s hospitals.
