Raising money for the Jimmy V Foundation, which focuses on funding cancer research at Dick Vitale’s gala.

“Dick Vitale sets the bar high — which he should,” former pro basketball player and current collegiate basketball analyst Jerod Ward said. “He really reaches out to the community in sports and the community here in Sarasota. The community does a great job of coming out and responding. If we can continue to raise awareness and raise money for cancer — and especially pediatric cancer — then that’s a plus.”

Ward borrowed one of Vitale’s signature phrases when he was describing how much the event has grown over the years: “Awesome with a capital A.”
