On Friday, February 24, 2012, Tidewell Hospice will host its 3rd Annual Compassion In Caring luncheon at the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota. Presented by Bouchard Insurance, the event honors the compassionate example set by Dame Cicely Saunders, the recognized founder of the modern hospice movement.
This year’s luncheon will feature a keynote address by Lee Woodruff, co-author of the best-selling book, In an Instant, who will share the inspirational story of her role as caregiver to husband and ABC news journalist Bob Woodruff, who faced a challenging recovery after sustaining a serious injury on assignment in Iraq. Woodruff, who serves as a contributing editor for ABC’s Good Morning America and recently published her second book Perfectly Imperfect – A Life in Progress has also penned numerous personal articles about her family and parenting that have run in such high-profile magazines as Health, Redbook, Country Living, Parade and Family Fun. At present, Woodruff lives in Westchester County, New York, with her husband and four children.
It is our hope that Lee’s story will inspire others to live the values of Compassion in Caring.
Individual tickets are $75 or also purchase a table for ten guests for $750. For information and reservations, please call (941) 552-7660.
