Beneva is excited to announce Samantha Burt as this year’s Sarasota’s Favorite Mom! We had 17 entries total and would like to thank all of those who nominated their favorite mom. Samantha was nominated by her best friend, Rachel Weston, a mother herself whose husband came home on Mother’s Day from Afghanistan to meet his son for the first time. Samantha told us that it was her family and friends that really helped her win. Here’s a video of our very own, Art Conforti, interviewing Samantha.

The 1st and 2nd runners-up were Ruta Bobelis and Ashley Searolaski. All winners received flowers from Beneva. The first runner-up also received a two hour spa package from Francesca’s Salon & Spa. The grand prize winner, Samantha Burt, won a custom gold pendant from Milan Jeweler, dinner for 4 at Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion, transportation from Prime Time Limousine, a two hour spa package from Francesca’s Salon and Spa and a $50 Visa gift card.
