Bonita Bay Club raises nearly $900,000 for expansion of Lee Health Regional Cancer Center

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - June 30, 2022 - PRLog -- The residents of Bonita Bay Club have made clear their advocacy and support of the Lee Health Regional Cancer Center in Bonita Springs by announcing a $1 million goal to increase quality cancer care for the residents of southern Lee and Collier counties.

So far, the charitable community has raised more than $900,000 to meet this goal. A significant portion of funds were raised at the community's 2022 Kentucky Derby Gala, including ticket sales, sponsorships and live auction proceeds. A highly invested group within the community, self-named "Goodfellas" led by Frank Valva and fellow tennis players, have given an additional $100,000. The community intends to name the infusion suite at the new clinic at the Bonita Health Center.

Part of the comprehensive oncology program with sister locations in Fort Myers and Cape Coral, the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation Cancer Clinic will include a 32-chair infusion center, four individual treatment rooms and 12 exam rooms. The Clinic will also include medical oncology examination rooms, spaces for Lee Health oncologists, an onsite pharmacy, and space for critical services such as nutrition and dietary counseling, care navigation, genetics and more.

The Bonita Bay Club gifts will be matched by the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation community challenge grant of $1.5 million. Lee Health Foundation must raise $1.5 million to receive the grant from the Schulze Family Foundation and double the impacts of local philanthropy.
