Manatee Community Foundation’s annual Spirit of Manatee event will virtually honor the generosity of givers and the resilience of nonprofits serving Manatee County.

The event is Wednesday, March 24, 2021 from Noon to 1:00 p.m.

We hope you can join us for an inspiring hour! There is no cost to attend because of our generous sponsor, the Milestone Financial Group at Morgan Stanley.

We will award five grants to nonprofits chosen by attendees during the virtual celebration. Just log on, join us for the hour and you could be one of the names drawn.

• John Weichel, Lifetime Spirit Winner, nominated by State College of Florida Foundation
