After several years off due to COVID and Ian, The Fort Myers Beach Community Foundation is back with its annual Fashion Show in Santini Plaza Saturday, February 15th at 11AM.
All $50 swag bags (164 of them) have been sold out. Raffle Baskets will be set up at The Islander and Leani’s from this Saturday until Saturday February 15th. Raffle tickets are 7 for $10, 15 for $20 for a chance to win a basket. There will be 50/50 tickets available for sales as well.
The Fort Myers Beach Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. In response to the COVID Pandemic, over $64,000 was raised and 640 gift cards distributed to FMB workers. This was accomplished by spearheading the #WeAreFMB campaign by selling shirts to raise the money.
This was then followed by the #WeAreFMBResilient campaign in response to Hurricane Ian when the Foundation partnered with the Fort Myers Woman’s Club after the hurricane to give $500 gift cards to anyone with a 33931 zip code. Together the groups raised $900,000 to give back to the FMB community.
In 14 years. $476,000 was donated to over 30 organizations servicing the FMB Community.
Representatives from The Community Foundation will be on Beach Talk Radio at Margaritaville tomorrow to talk about the Fashion Show.
