Golf Committee Chair Pattie Meek explains why she feels so passionate about the Clinic.

“We wanted to create a community event that was vibrant, fun, and centered around art and connection. The artists were so supportive, donating pieces to help support the Clinic’s mission — and that spirit of generosity has continued to this day.”

Meet the folks behind Martinis + Matisse, THE party to kick off each year in Pinellas County.

John H. Meek Jr. was more than a board member—he was a passionate community activist whose dedication to the Clearwater Free Clinic (CFC) left a lasting impact. For many years, John devoted his time, energy, and leadership to ensuring the clinic's growth and sustainability, helping to expand access to essential medical and behavioral health care for those in need.

The Martinis + Matisse party was a night of creativity, connection, and celebration—a true feast for the eyes and soul. As we reflect on an evening filled with inspiring art, delightful conversations, and unforgettable moments, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the amazing photographers who generously donated their time and talent to capture every magical detail.
