All Star Children’s Foundation has announced a $3 million donation from the Louis and Gloria Flanzer Philanthropic Trust. The gift will contribute to the construction and operation of All Star’s five-acre campus currently underway at 3300 17th Street in Sarasota.

The All Star campus is comprised of: a 13,000, square-foot clinical treatment building, where, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, All Star will embark on a mission to use brain science research to expand the boundaries of neuroscience while using evidence-based, trauma-informed care to change the outcomes for children in foster care; six, single-family, licensed foster homes that will accommodate five children each, keep siblings together and feature on-site foster parents; the Clubhouse, where children and their families will gather to play, talk, learn and celebrate; and several outdoor amenities.

All Star will begin treating children this month on an out-patient basis and begin accepting children into their family foster homes in late fall. Some 225 children will be treated in the first operational year.
