The Chairman and Principal Shareholder of the Miami Marlins, Bruce Sherman and his wife, Cynthia, have made a $1 million gift to Keeping the Promise … The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
The Shermans’ generosity brings the total of seven- and eight-figure donors to Keeping the Promise to 44, and the total dollars raised to more than $239 million toward the campaign’s goal of $250 million. There have been nearly 1,100 gift commitments to the campaign since its inception.
“We are delighted to count the Shermans as close friends of the campaign,” said Lincoln Mendez, CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital. “They are remarkably generous to us, and to other organizations throughout Florida and beyond. We deeply appreciate their philanthropy and the commitment to a long-term vision of healthcare in the Boca Raton area. Their gifts, and influence just by the nature of their involvement with such an important venture, is incredibly impactful.”
The Shermans join other philanthropists connected to sport franchises such as the Boston Red Sox and the National Hockey League who made extraordinary gifts to Keeping the Promise. Their gift will be acknowledged with a two-piece art installation entitled “Capella,” which will stand prominently in the hospital lobby.
