Additionally, our silent auction this year exceeded all years prior and I’m thrilled to say that we were able to auction off approximately $9,000 worth of amazing items!! Thank you to all of our product donators!

The foundation presented the Neuro Critical Care Unit at Florida Hospital South with a check during a small dedication ceremony in honor of Scott's 35th birthday. The new neuro unit will be home to an educational area named after Scott in one of the family waiting rooms where families can watch videos recorded by doctors at Florida Hospital, read up to date medical journals about the latest technologies and surgeries for neuro patients and be comforted by answers while doctors and nurses work to save lives.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 2nd Annual Scott Coopersmith Stroke Awareness Gala on July 16, 2011 at the Tuscawilla Country Club! With your help, participation and dedication, we managed to raise over $20,000 to support Stroke Awareness within our community and benefit the Neuro Critical Care Unit at Florida Hospital South!!! This is more than double than what we raised last year and we could not have done this without all of you!
A special thank you once again to all of our speakers and sponsors who helped make the gala an amazing night to remember for all!
The Scott Coopersmith Stroke Awareness Foundation was created in honor and memory of our Scott who touched many, many people in his short, yet meaningful life. With your continued support of this cause, we are ensuring that his legacy will live on long beyond his years.
Once again, thank you all so much for your support! We hope that you all had a wonderful time!
Best Wishes,
The Coopersmith Family
