So Relay for Life is no longer here on Villages property. There was much anger and one of the local cancer doctors was not happy either that Moffitt was coming to the area. This is all just what I think was happening.
Basically I think the developers were trying to improve Medical care round abouts, BUT why is up for grabs. Some folks always say they are money grubbing greedy folks. I kinda was hoping that they were trying to improve medical care here because it needs to be improved in my very humble opinion.

So the donation in fact went to TVRH for construction, not specifically or directly to Moffitt--that clears that issue up. But I can't agree with a decision to cancel a charity relay based on which charity benefited.
I do think "the developers" are trying to improve medical care--they've poured millions into TV Health, kept an eye toward the future by organizing it as a PCMH, and most likely will never recoup their investment.
