Each year, SRQ Media invites the community to nominate individuals with hearts of giving who have made a significant impact with local nonprofit organizations — from volunteers and board members to individual staff members and donors. This year, attendees were thrilled to be together as we recognized our annual Good Hero Philanthropic Award recipients at the SB2: Philanthropic Agenda Luncheon and Good Hero Philanthropic Awards Luncheon on Tuesday, March 7th at Michael’s on East in Sarasota. In the coming weeks, we are happy to feature each of the ten honorees in our Wednesday Philanthropic edition of SRQ Daily.

Today, we are recognizing Marjan Zaun, who is on the Board of Directors at Florida Cancer Specialists Foundation.  Marjan is one of the key organizers of a worldwide healing with arts program, Las Meninas, focused on the arts and cancer patients in Florida Cancer Specialists clinics across the state. She also initiated the first ‘Friendraiser’ for the Foundation in Lakewood Ranch including those in the local community interested in learning more about the Foundation’s mission. Marjan stepped up as the Chair of the Annual Party Under the Stars Gala for 2023 and she is always the first to make potential donor introductions, having the Foundation’s mission as a priority and top of mind. Congratulations, Marjan.
