The Friendship Center is a non-profit with services to meet the needs of people 50 and older, and extend into the community with volunteer opportunities for all ages. Since the early 1970s this organization has led the country in developing innovative, cost-effective approaches to address the health and wellness needs of older adults.

The Mall at University Town Center is the dominant fashion-shopping destination in Sarasota. The shopping center features many distinctive retailers not found anywhere else in the local market. The center also includes a combination of upscale fashion and lifestyle retailers as well as a selection of sit down restaurants.
