We were honored today to announce Linda Dooley as our 2009 Sarasota’s Favorite Mom. Linda is a long time patron of Beneva and was nominated by her two daughters. During the contest the girls contacted as many of their family and friends they could think of to register at Beneva.com and cast their vote for their mother.

Linda not only won the title of Sarasota’s Favorite Mother but took home flowers for a year, with the first arrangement in our Lenox Butterfly Garden Pitcher, a family portrait by Stephanie Dubsky Photography and Dinner for Four at Clayton’s Siesta Grille.  Not only did Linda receive all these fabulous prizes but she is the first recipient of our Sarasota’s Favorite Mom charm. Custom made by Milan’s Jewelry this one of a kind piece will only be available to Sarasota’s Favorite Mom winners.
