Origin

The Vasari Cares Foundation was founded in 2017 primarily to engage the Vasari membership in supporting local charities in and around the Vasari community.  Most Vasari Members have had long, successful careers in other states and were undoubtedly supporters of charities in those states.  Confident in the generosity of Vasari Members and aware of local needs, we recognized the opportunity to direct some of that generosity to charities here in southwest Florida.  Funds we raise here, stay here!

   

Mission

To support selected charities that will impact the local community by mobilizing the power of Vasari volunteers and capitalizing upon their generosity.

​

Vision

Our vision is to make a difference for those in need in the local community.
