Spark Award

The Spark Award

Baptist Health Foundation’s Board of Directors are some of our greatest advocates. Their contributions, time and effort help guide the strategic vision, financial sustainability and awareness of Baptist Health as a not-for-profit organization benefiting from philanthropic support to better serve our community.

In appreciation of the hard work demonstrated by our Foundation Board members, each year the Foundation presents the Spark Award to those who have fundraised $250,000 or more. Last year, we were honored to recognize:

Learn why our Spark Award recipients donate their time and volunteer for Baptist Health Foundation from Robert G. Berrin, Foundation Board Chairman, and Judith H. Zeder, Council Chair for Doctors Hospital and Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute:

“At Baptist Health Foundation, we continue to set the pace for growth for the organization — not just to become the preeminent provider of healthcare in South Florida, but also to offer the highest-quality, most compassionate care possible. That kind of care begins with the generosity of our donors. These remarkable individuals, families and organizations believe in the mission of Baptist Health. They are making a tangible difference by contributing their resources, time, talent and passion, and we are tremendously grateful. Philanthropy is the engine that is driving the future of Baptist Health, and with it, the vision of a healthy, vibrant and resilient community.”

Robert G. Berrin

“As council chair for Doctors Hospital and Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute, I am proud to be involved with an organization that’s laser-focused on providing patients with an outstanding healthcare experience. The Institute’s physicians and researchers are pioneering less invasive and noninvasive treatments that are helping patients regain their mobility and keep doing the activities they love. They are improving the quality of life for so many, and philanthropic support for research, innovation and clinical education is making it possible. It’s gratifying to be a part of it.”
