Its product portfolio is structured around fundraising events (Annual Benefit Golf Classic, Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk, Soiree By the Bay, Doctors' Day), scholarship programs (Allied Health Scholarship, E. Anne Spitzer MD Memorial Scholarship), educational funds (Anne Lockhart Nursing Educational Fund, Helen P.

The go-to-market is event-driven and community-based, relying on signature fundraisers, donor cultivation, corporate partnerships, and youth philanthropy.
