Sanibel Captiva Community Bank’s Kaduk honored at Women of Distinction Gala

Sanibel Captiva Community Bank’s Rachel Kaduk was honored at the 7th Annual Women of Distinction Gala on June 17. This year’s event recognized the exceptional acts of kindness during the recovery efforts following the devastating impact of Hurricane Ian on the Southwest Florida community.

The gala organizing committee realigned the award categories this year to center the celebration around the theme, “Spread Kindness like Wildflowers,” reflecting the resilience and compassionate spirit demonstrated by individuals throughout the hurricane recovery period. Kaduk was one of 10 Southwest Florida women who received the 2023 Acts of Kindness Award.

Women of Distinction is a group of Republican women recognizing women who have set the standard in their chosen profession and community endeavors.
