This will be used for our veterinary expenses which, we must say, are mighty! With medicines, checkups, bloodwork, occasional surgeries and many, many dentals, this is such a huge help to us!! Thank you to all those at the foundation who work so hard to help our community and many others! And to the Golisano Family for making this grant and others possible!

To The Golisano Foundation - Bailey and Friends, we thank you !! How wonderful it is to be recognized and gifted such an amazing blessing. The EMC is so very grateful for the grant given to us which helped us purrrchase our new shed. Dubbed, the ' Swamp King Palace renovation ' ( named in honor of the swamp king himself, BART 🐈‍⬛ ), we have begun phase one of our new facility ! This shed will be the very first solid structure complete with electricity and a/c ! Our goal is to tear down all the original enclosures which have begun to break down and rot after over 16 years of Florida weather and storms. This shed is the beginning of a new chapter at the EMC which will provide a safer haven for all our kits. We still have a long way to go, even with phase one, but The Golisano Foundation - Bailey and Friends has started us off running !! It's going to take some time, a lot of work and more donations to get there, but we are determined to see it through and hope you will be a part of it all by sticking with us and sharing our mission. I have been an animal advocate for over 40 years and feel like this journey is a brand new beginning and that I will one day soon create what I have always wished for, for the EMC kitties ! Thank you ! Thank you !! Thank you !!

Congratulations to our Foundation's Executive Director, Erica Dayton! We can't wait to celebrate you on May 14th!

Congratulations to Erica Dayton, Executive Director of the Golisano Foundation, on being named a Women of Excellence Honoree by the Rochester Business Journal. Erica joined the Golisano Foundation in 2019 and stepped into the Executive Director role in 2023. Since then, she has led with vision, integrity, and a deep commitment to impact.

Most recently, under her leadership and working closely with Tom Golisano on a shared vision, the Golisano Children’s Alliance is transforming pediatric care, helping direct more than $350 million in giving to hospitals where it can make the greatest difference for children and families.

But what makes Erica truly exceptional is how she leads. She is a trusted partner, a thoughtful collaborator, and a mentor to many across the nonprofit community. She brings out the best in her team and approaches this work with both heart and purpose.
A powerhouse and a genuinely kind, grounded leader, this recognition is so well deserved. Congratulations, Erica!
