Pediatric Patients Get a Special Delivery
Broward County Property Appraiser Marty Kiar, Rita Case, Golfer Paul Azinger’s Family Compassion Center and One More Child deliver surprise gifts to patients at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital
Hollywood, Florida (June 2, 2025) – Broward County Property Appraiser Marty Kiar’s Outreach Program in partnership with Rita Case, president CEO of the Rick Case Automotive Group, Golfer Paul Azinger’s Family Compassion Center and One More Child, in partnership with Bealls department stores, made a special delivery to pediatric patients at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida.
“When I got the call about where I thought these donations would have the most impact, I immediately thought of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital,” said Rita Case. “For children, coming to the hospital can be very frightening for them. We want them to feel at home and be comforted while they are here. That’s what makes this donation so important.”
Patients received toys, puzzles, shoes and blankets, along with beautiful, colorful handmade quilts. Students
throughout the country submitted artwork for the quilts that were then made by the loving hands of women throughout the U.S. who weaved the artwork into the quilts, which are donated by One More Child.
“Rita has been an invaluable partner, dedicating her time and resources to making people’s lives better,” said Ron Cacciatore, Director of Professional Standards and Compliance, Broward County Property Appraiser’s office. “It is through Rita that we were connected with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.”
Caitlin Stella, CEO of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, and members of her team graciously accepted the donations. “We are deeply grateful to Rita, Ron, Marty, the Outreach Program and all of our generous partners,” she said. “These donations will bring comfort and joy to our patients and families while they are here.”
The Broward County Property Appraiser’s Outreach Program aims to provide joy to the most vulnerable population during their most difficult times, support local communities and make a positive difference in the lives of all who call South Florida their home.
“I am incredibly proud of the work our team does to serve the residents of Broward County, and our community outreach, including this delivery to Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, is a critical part of that,” added Kiar.
