To the editor:

What a wonderful afternoon! The FISH of Sanibel-Captiva Foundation was delighted to welcome nearly 70 guests to our AngelFISH Luncheon. It was inspiring to gather with such an incredible group of philanthropic women all dedicated to investing in the future of FISH and our AngelFISH Kitchen project, the 2025-26 AngelFISH-funded initiative.

A heartfelt thank you to Carrie Bloemers, MS, RDN, LDN, system director of wellness at Lee Health, for sharing her insights on nutrition and whole-person wellness. Carrie reminded us of the simple but powerful message to “eat the rainbow” — to fill our plates with colorful, nutritious foods that support balance, energy and long-term health.

For those who’d like to revisit her talk or share it with a friend, a downloadable version of Carrie’s discussion is available at https://files.constantcontact.com/2826a899201/91a5d286-c3b5-4a43-a214-b692f9628263.pdf.

We’re so grateful to each of you for your generosity and enthusiasm. Your involvement helps strengthen FISH programs and ensures the success of this year’s AngelFISH Kitchen project, which will provide air fryer convection ovens to a group of FISH clients, along with classes focusing on healthy cooking and eating.

Stay tuned for more details about upcoming cooking classes, volunteer opportunities and the impact your support will make in the months ahead.
