The 7th Annual Signature Luncheon is Tidewell?s signature fundraising event, and this year, Joan Lunden, former host of Good Morning America, entrepreneur, and health and wellness advocate, will be the keynote speaker. The luncheon gets under way at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 12, 2016, at the Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota. A book-signing with Joan Lunden immediately follows the program. Sponsorship opportunities for the luncheon begin at $1,250, and also include invitations to a private VIP Meet and Greet Reception preceding the luncheon. In its six-year history, the luncheon has raised more than $645,000 to help fund the services Tidewell provides to more than 8,000 patients annually, regardless of the ability to pay.
