Every year, one signature event celebrates the people who live and give in Manatee County. It’s the Spirit of Manatee Awards Luncheon, and the date is Wednesday, March 7, 2018.  Together with an impressive group of philanthropists who will be honored, we will be joined by local business and community leaders, donors, and nonprofit friends. Will you be there?
