Volume 3 |May 29, 2026| Spreading Sunshine Since 1951 | | We asked - you came through - and this summer has nothing on us! | |
Thanks to your incredible support at last year’s Celebrity Chefs Event, ASC now has a brand-new walkway canopy transforming campus life. It creates a safe, covered pathway that keeps students and residents dry, comfortable, and protected as they move between buildings, outdoor spaces, and transportation—rain or shine 🌧️☀️.
Because of YOU: Daily transitions are easier, safer, and more comfortable, and our campus is now more accessible and welcoming for everyone at ASC.
| Huge thanks to The Tweddle Foundation and The Salah Foundation for the large contributions that allowed us to add even more canopy coverage to our project! | | Shhh... Step in to the Speakeasy! | |
It takes a village, and we sure have a cool one! 😎
We are absolutely buzzing with gratitude after an incredible night at Bar Betty at Sunness Supper Club!

Compassion Never Goes
Out of Style 👠
| |
Chanel boots are temporary, but style—and heart—are permanent.
In honor of the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere, our campus channeled its inner Runway magazine to show that while fashion trends come and go, true compassion never goes out of style. Check out our video below and let us know your favorite look!

| | | Home is Where the Heart Is 🏡 | | & The Gold Medals Are Where It's At 😉🥇 | |
At the Ann Storck Center, "home" is so much more than a roof over your head—it’s a place where connection, enrichment, and a true family spirit come to life every single day. For families who need support, our six Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs) and four group homes offer a vital sanctuary of elevated care and comfort for 96 incredible individuals.
If you want to see that ASC family spirit in action, look no further than the recent Special Olympics on our Fort Lauderdale campus! The entire community came together to cheer on our residents as they stepped outside, challenged themselves, and celebrated exactly what they can do. With high-fives at the finish line and pure joy in the air, the day was a beautiful reminder of what happens when individuals are empowered to live fuller, happier lives.
Around here, every single resident is a gold medal winner! ✨💛

Leading with Passion: Celebrating Our CEO
| | Great leadership isn't just about steering the ship; it’s about inspiring everyone on board to reach for the stars. For the past four years, Ann Storck Center has been incredibly fortunate to have a captain who does exactly that: our phenomenal CEO, Pat Murphy. | | |
In honor of National CEO Day, we celebrated the woman behind so much of our growth and evolution. Pat’s time at the helm has been defined by a fierce determination, a forward-thinking vision, and an unwavering commitment to the individuals and families we serve.
If you’ve ever walked the halls of ASC, you’ve likely felt her influence. Pat truly lives by example, bringing a contagious energy that inspires the entire team to keep pushing boundaries. She constantly challenges us to keep going until our good gets better, and our better becomes best!
| | Thank you, Pat, for your passionate leadership, your relentless dedication, and for spending the last four years creating a world of greater possibilities for us all. We are so proud to celebrate you everyday! 💙✨ | | |
There is always a place for you at ASC. Come check us out in person!
