Monroe County Commissioners recently expressed gratitude to Baptist Health South Florida for its $20,000 sponsorship of Monroe County’s Parks and Beaches summer camp program.
“This generous funding was used to support scholarships, provide free day camps for teachers at Sugarloaf during the final two days before school starts, and help cover costs for educational field trips, healthy snacks and essential camp supplies,” said Monroe County Mayor Jim Scholl.
Special recognition was also given to Jay Hershoff, Baptist’s community benefit committee chairman, for facilitating the donation and his commitment to the health and well-being of Monroe County children. Monroe County State Attorney Dennis Ward and Mayor Pro Tem Michelle Lincoln helped make the connection once learning there was a need in the community.
