Not-for-Profit Spotlight
Christie Grays, Director of Community Relations for Baptist Health South Florida, is proud to represent Baptist Health on Chamber South's Not For Profit Committee.
Christie has been an active member with Chamber South for about 1 year. She feels being part of the Not For Profit Committee is a perfect fit. "Chamber South's members know Baptist Health as a healthcare system with seven hospitals and more than two dozen medical plazas spanning three counties. But what you may not know is that Baptist Health South Florida is one of the largest not-for-profit providers in the United States. Our faith-based mission of caring extends to thousands of less fortunate members of our community. In 2011, we spent more than $221 million in charity care and other community benefits with over 17,500 people receiving charity care. Additionally, we contributed $3.8 million to community clinics that provided over 59,000 primary care visits. It's all about people caring for people, and caring for our community which is why I'm delighted to be a part of the Not For Profit Committee for Chamber South." Christie is also involved in one of Chamber N-XT's kickball teams and the Chairman's Gala Committee.

Members in Motion
Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar(BWW) is strongly committed to aiding members of the community that are in need.
Each year they select a new family/organization to raise funds for. This year, their mission is to raise money to aid in the care of Owen Johnson, a 4-year-old quadriplegic.
At the age of 3, following a tragic car accident, Owen was paralyzed and became ventilator dependant. Because of the nature of his injuries, it is extremely costly to continue his rehabilitation.
Buffalo Wild Wings Grill will be hosting the 1st Annual Buffalo Wild Wings Charity Golf Tournament which will be held at Doral Golf Resorts, Gold Course on Friday, July 27, 2012. Your involvement will make this year's event an extra special celebration. One hundred percent of the proceeds raised will go to the Johnson Family. Teams of four will enter the tournament for a green fee. There will be goodie bags for each team member, a silent auction, on-course games and the winners of the tournament will be recognized.
You can help by becoming a sponsor or donating to this worthy cause. Please click here for more information and sponsorship forms.
