The Fort Myers Community Concert Association 2025-2026 Season Sponsors

The Association expresses its gratitude to all who have made contributions to the success of this season and especially to the following for their extraordinary support.

Sanibel Captiva Community Bank

Frank Mann

Chartered on Sanibel Island in 2003, Sanibel Captiva Community Bank began as a small, locally owned and operated community bank primarily serving the residents and businesses of Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Now more two decades later, SanCap Bank has eight locations throughout Lee County with total assets of over $900 million and over 16,000 customers.  Our foundation is built on people and relationships. Our success is based on the recognition and value we place on relationships with team members, customers, and our community.  This mission guides us in finding smart, thoughtful banking, lending and community solutions.  Community is in our name because it’s central to who we are as an organization.  The Bank supports over 400 not-for-profit community causes including Fort Myers Community Concert Association through a combination of donations and volunteerism.  The Bank is proud to have given well over $4 million to local charitable causes and over 65 percent of employees log in almost 1,000 volunteer hours annually.  For twenty two years SanCap Bank has worked diligently to do the right thing for our employees, customers, and community having a positive impact on Southwest Florida; a place we love to call home.

The W. E. Cross Charitable Foundation
Trustees Arthur Brisker, Esq., Hazel Brisker, And Alicia J. Brisker
John And Pam Noland

Returning as sponsors, The W. E. Cross Charitable Foundation and its three trustees, Mr. and Mrs. Brisker and their daughter Alicia are proud to support the Community Concert Association along with long time supporters John and Pam Noland as sponsors of Orchestra Manhattan with Piano Soloist Elisabeth Pion. Both the Briskers and the Nolands trace their support to an appreciation for the contributions of the Mann family to our area.

Katherine Caldwell

Program sponsor for the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra with Violinist Stella Chen is Board Member Katherine Caldwell who is thrilled to sponsor this world-renowned group. After retiring from playing many years in professional orchestras she now devotes her time to volunteering and serving on several arts organization boards. She is a strong believer in the importance of bringing affordable outstanding music that enriches our community

Dr. Ron And Lt.Col. Anne Peck

The sponsors for The Three Italian Tenors are Dr. Ron and Lt. Col. Anne Peck, long time admirers of both the concert program and the ongoing Mann family activities in its support. The Pecks know our audience will be tempted to sing along as these outstanding performers present favorites from the classical repertoire.

Ellie Fox

Our very generous Board Member Ellie Fox is the sponsor for Barcelona Flamenco Ballet “Carmen.”  Her love of music, and eagerness to make it available to others is only rivaled by her love of travel the world over. We’re always glad when she’s back and shares her adventures with us and also gets to enjoy the concerts.

Raymond James
Francine Payson And Tarek Salhab, Riverview Wealth Partners

Francine Payson and Tarek Salhab of Riverview Wealth Partners, are proud to partner with Raymond James in their sponsorship of The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass. Fran and Tarek have a strong belief that supporting the arts is imperative in strengthening our communities, which can help inspire and enrich the lives of everyone around us.
