This is what life-changing opportunity looks like.

In just a matter of weeks, Olivia went from starting something new to building a future in healthcare—completing hands-on training, earning her CNA certification, and stepping into a job almost immediately after graduating.

CareerEdge isn’t just about training—it’s about opening doors, building confidence, and helping individuals discover a path they may have never thought possible. Olivia’s journey is a powerful reminder of what can happen when someone is given the chance to grow, learn, and succeed.

We are proud to be part of stories like hers—and to continue investing in brighter futures for our community. 💙

It starts now.

The Giving Challenge is officially live—and what happens in the next 24 hours matters.

“Kevin’s not here…”

If you get it, you get it. If not… go watch Home Alone 2.

We had a little fun recreating a classic, but behind the humor is something that truly matters to our community.

Tomorrow at 12 PM, the Giving Challenge begins — a 24-hour opportunity to invest in people, potential, and possibility right here in Sarasota.

Through this effort, we’re able to support our programs like CareerEdge, ThinkBIG, Leadership Sarasota, and InternConnect — initiatives that help individuals build real-world skills, gain meaningful experience, grow as leaders, and connect to opportunities that can change the course of their futures.

These programs are creating pathways to careers, strengthening our workforce, and opening doors that might otherwise stay closed.

Every gift helps move someone forward.

Be the one who shows up. Be the one ready to give.

Big milestone for workforce development in our region 🎉

Yesterday, we celebrated the Tiny Home 2.0 Ribbon Cutting at Suncoast Technical College—a project that continues to bring education, industry, and community together in a powerful way.

Across two campuses in Sarasota and North Port, 145 students participated in the build, collectively earning 486 industry-recognized credentials. Through programs like Building Trades & Construction Design Technology, Carpentry, Electrical, HVAC, and Plumbing, these students are gaining the hands-on skills needed to step confidently into high-demand careers.

This initiative is a true collaboration, and we’re grateful for the partners who made it possible— a special thank you to the Eppard Family Foundation for your leadership and commitment to workforce development.

Additional thanks to Crown Capital Management and Final Draft, Inc. for your support in bringing this project to life.

Together, we’re not just building homes—we’re building futures. 🏡💙
