$1.6 million raised for children and families at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital
This year, world-renowned guitarist, singer, and composer José Feliciano was inducted into the Ambassador David M. Walters International Pediatric Hall of Fame for his commitment to helping children through the Jose M. and Susan L.
