Barbara’s Friends, the cancer fund benefiting The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida, held an event to celebrate its 15th anniversary and recognize founders Frank and Betty Haskell on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010. The event included a champagne brunch, both silent and live auctions, and live entertainment by local youth performance groups including:

• KidzAct Naples Players
• Gulfshore Ballet
• Dancing Classrooms
• The Music Foundation

Barbara’s Friends has raised more than $8.7 million since its inception. This money has helped build and equip a pediatric hematology and oncology center and other facilities providing therapy and support to children battling these diseases in our community. The fund also helps cover some treatment expenses for uninsured or underinsured patients.
