Family behind Boar's Head donates $200K

SARASOTA — Forty Carrots Family Center, a prominent Sarasota nonprofit parent education center and preschool, recently bought a building next door to its main facility for an expansion project.

The organization also launched a $600,000 capital campaign to cover the cost of the expansion project, according to a release. The project, the release adds, was launched with a $200,000 gift from the Brunckhorst family, owners of Sarasota-based Boar's Head Provisions, the giant deli meat and cheese company.

The purchase of the building, at 1426 Tuttle Ave., will allow Forty Carrots to expand its parenting education and mental health programs.
