Helping to fund research and education
The five offices of Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Fasano partnered with the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation to help raise funds and awareness of breast cancer, its symptoms and treatment. The tax collector’s offices promoted the sale of the foundation’s “End Breast Cancer” specialty tag and accepted voluntary check-off donations on automobile registrations.
Twenty-three license plates were sold, and combined with cash donations, a total of $9,018.97 was raised to help ‘end the suffering caused by breast cancer,’ according to a news release.
Day of service
The GFWC Wesley Chapel Woman’s Club took part in a day of service to shower love, respect and kindness upon persons with disabilities or special needs in the community.
The club members made 15 ‘fidget’ lap quilts for Alzheimer’s patients and donated them to Seasons Hospice and Palliative Care.
