The Sebastian Ferrero Foundation Receives a $5 Million Gift From Google Executive for Children's Hospital

The Sebastian Ferrero Foundation has received a $5 million commitment from Mr. Craig Silverstein, a Gainesville native and son of physicians Drs. Burton and
Janet Silverstein, both of Gainesville. "Growing up the child of two doctors,
I understand the important role medical care plays in a community. The more I
hear about this Project, and what it will bring to Gainesville, the more
excited I am by it," said Silverstein, who became Google's first employee in
1998 and is now its Director of Technology. "Giving this gift to the Sebastian
Ferrero Foundation will help advance its mission of creating a full-service
Children's Hospital in partnership with Shands at UF, while ensuring the
highest quality care for children in North Central Florida and beyond." Mr.
Silverstein proposed this grant through his donor advised fund at Schwab
Charitable Fund.
