The Women's Board of Wolfson Children's Hospital was founded in 1973 when Ellen Cavert invited 40 of her friends to join her to increase community awareness of the hospital and to raise funds for continued improvement of its services. The quality of Wolfson became Ellen's mission after one of her twin granddaughters died following a premature birth. Ellen directed her efforts to ensuring that children coming to this hospital would receive the best care available. With that mission clearly in focus for the past thirty-five years, the 368 members of The Women's Board have raised more than $19 million dollars for facilities, equipment and programs. The 1976 Boehm Exhibit was the first Women’s Board event. This was followed by the winter Antiques Show held in 1977, which is a three-day show and sale produced by The Women’s Board. It begins with a Benefactor Preview Reception and Opening Night Party. Florida Forum, The Women’s Board speaker series, which annually hosts three or four internationally prominent personalities, was inaugurated in 1992. Both events benefit Wolfson Children’s Hospital. |
