The Bundy Family's Legacy of Support for Mayo Clinic Highlighted at Bundy Kitchen + Market
In the hustle and bustle of a busy day within Mayo Clinic in Florida, a newly renovated sanctuary offers respite and comfort: the Bundy Kitchen + Market. This inviting cafe is more than just a place to grab a bite; it’s a tribute to Russ and Liz Bundy and their family’s heartfelt commitment to providing a haven for caregivers and patients navigating their healthcare journeys.
The Bundy Family’s connection to the service industry runs deep, beginning in the 1960s when Russ Bundy embarked on his entrepreneurial path selling baking pans from his car. This humble start blossomed into Bundy Baking Solutions, a global leader providing baking pans, coatings, and equipment to bakeries worldwide. Their success in the food industry reflects their inherent understanding of hospitality and care, values they have extended to Mayo Clinic.
Recognized as Principal Benefactors, the Bundy family are steadfast champions of Mayo Clinic’s mission. Their generosity has significantly contributed to capital improvements in Florida, arthritis research, and educational lectureships, demonstrating a broad commitment to advancing healthcare. For Russ and Liz, supporting Mayo Clinic is a deeply personal endeavor.
“Nothing brings us greater peace than sharing moments with family and friends, and these moments are especially important during challenging times,” Russ and Liz Bundy have stated. This sentiment perfectly encapsulates their motivation for the Bundy Kitchen + Market. They envisioned a space where patients and their families could find solace and connection amidst the challenges of medical care, a vision that has beautifully materialized.
The Bundy Kitchen + Market’s reimagined menu features a special nod to the family: the Bundy bison burger. This signature item, a Bundy family favorite, celebrates their multi-generational relationship with Mayo Clinic, symbolizing both their personal connection and their ongoing support for the institution’s mission to provide compassionate and comprehensive care.
