Fran Gerrett Memorial Golf Classic

Since 2011, the Fran Gerrett Memorial Golf Classic has brought the community together for an annual two-course golf tournament at Indian River Preserve Golf Club and The Great Outdoors Golf Club. The 18-hole scramble honors the legacy of Fran Gerrett, a longtime community advocate and former Parrish Medical Center Materials Management Director who was deeply committed to supporting The Children’s Center.

Fran’s passion for helping children is captured in his well-known words: “It’s all about the kids!” Since its inception, the tournament has raised more than $950,000 to help fund the vital work of The Children’s Center. His spirit continues to inspire this annual event and the generosity of the community it brings together.

Gift of Light Tree-Lighting Celebration

Celebrate the magic of the holiday season at Parrish Medical Center during our annual Gift of Light tree-lighting celebration—a beloved community tradition that brings families and friends together to celebrate Healing Families—Healing Communities®.

This free, family-friendly evening is filled with holiday cheer, including photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, face painting, kids’ crafts, food trucks, hot chocolate, live entertainment, a dazzling fireworks finale and more. It’s a spectacular night of good friends, good tidings and unforgettable memories for the whole family.

As part of the celebration, tribute gifts offer a meaningful way to honor or remember someone special while touching the lives of patients and their families. Tribute gifts are permanently recognized in the Book of Honor, displayed year-round in the hospital’s All Faiths Chapel and featured in the atrium throughout the holiday season.
