Welcome Message From CHI Foundation Chair and CHI President & CEO

Gustavo Hermida CHI Foundation Chairman

Blake Hall CHI President & CEO

Greetings, A heartfelt thank you to all of our supporters, because of you the Children’s Crisis Center project is moving forward and many other programs and services are helping countless people in need.   The CHI Golf Tournament was a hole in one. We want to express our sincere gratitude to OneDigital, and all the sponsors and participants. Once again you made this event a great success. The annual golf tournament was held this past April at the Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club and raised over $108,000 benefiting the Children’s Crisis Center capital campaign -- leaving less than $340,000 to raise for the construction of the center.   We are so close to crossing the $5.5 million capital campaign goal that we are ready to begin construction of this much needed facility. We look forward to sharing with you brick by brick how your donations are bringing the Children’s Crisis Center to life.   You can stay in the loop about all of the progress we are making together on our new social media channels. Community Health Foundation has officially launched its own channels. There you can get and share the latest information on future events and the progress of the Children’s Center by following us on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn @chisflfoundation.   We are proud to announce two new Community Health Foundation board members, Mr. Michael F. Clark and Mr. Sergio Bustamante. Both members have been long time supporters of CHI and their professionalism and passion for health equity will make them wonderful additions to the foundation board and our philanthropic mission.   Together we are building hope for thousands of children and adolescents needing critical mental health services in our community. For additional information please contact chifoundation@chisouthfl.org or 786-293-5504.   Sincerely,

Gustavo Hermida CHI Foundation Chairman

Donor Feature - One Digital

Catherine Ratcliffe Principal and Vice President of Operations at OneDigital

In its third year as the presenting sponsor of CHI’s Golf Tournament, OneDigital showed out once again in support of the Children’s Crisis Center—a testament to the organization’s commitment to our community’s most vulnerable and underserved populations. Joe Sullivan, Managing Principal of OneDigital and board member of the CHI Foundation has been a dedicated backer of CHI for more than a decade. His longtime partnership and corporate support of CHI has yielded more than $92,000 benefitting the Children’s Crisis Center, which will serve over 1,000 children annually who are suffering from severe mental illness in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. This level of contribution has inducted OneDigital as the 3rd member of The Champions Society which recognizes donors with cumulative giving between

$50,000 - $99,999 and is named in honor of the many who have championed the movement to end health discrimination in Florida. OneDigital’s enduring support of the CHI Golf Tournament and the Children’s Crisis Center aligns with its mission fostering relationships with various community health center partners across the country, especially nonprofits with critical pediatric initiatives. “Children are the most vulnerable population and need support in different ways than adults so the concept behind the Children’s Crisis Center was very fundamentally connected with us,” said Catherine Ratcliffe, Principal and Vice President of Operations at OneDigital. She added that Sullivan lost his son Sammy in 2005, “Sammy’s legacy and memory are always key in our focus to drive forward any of those pediatric-related organizations.” OneDigital’s mission is to bring together insurance, financial services and HR consulting to help businesses power their people to do their best work. For many years, OneDigital has worked with CHI in the employee-benefits space through a comprehensive approach to retirement, health care, employee experience and more. "We at CHI take immense pride in having Joe Sullivan and the OneDigital team as our partners, collaborating with us to deliver excellent patient care through their generous philanthropic contributions and exceptional professional services to our staff,” said Blake Hall, President & CEO of CHI. “I hope that other corporations in our community will be inspired by OneDigital's leadership and join us in our mission." Looking to the future, Ratcliffe said OneDigital and CHI will remain strong partners and reinforce their support of CHI’s mission and workforce through their working partnership, and support of the CHI Golf Tournament and Children’s Crisis Center. “We feel a strong responsibility to help support the people who do such important work in our communities,” said Ratcliffe. “CHI has a uniquely holistic approach to ensuring the most vulnerable are taken care of and that’s one of the biggest reasons OneDigital has always had a very strong relationship with CHI.” Thanks to the support of OneDigital and all of the sponsors and participants, the 2023 CHI Golf Tournament raised over $108,000 leaving less than $340,000 needed to complete the Children’s Crisis Center’s $5 million capital campaign. To view the highlights of this wonderful event held this past April, visit. chisouthfl.org/golf.  To join forces with OneDigital and other donors and help build the Children’s Crisis Center please visit chisouthfl.org/give or call 786-293-5504.
