Her legacy has expanded to include Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Broward Partnership for the Homeless, Children’s Diagnostic & Treatment Center, Central Broward Pregnancy Center, Operation Gratitude and other organizations that comfort the ill, homeless, elderly, and military with blankets, cheerful pillowcases, infant hats, therapy dolls, Beads of Courage bags, scarves for servicemen and women and other handmade items.
