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 this Saturday 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.
Looking forward to having the style shows return to FMB
The FMB Community Foundation invites everyone to Santini on Saturday, February 15 even though the event is sold out. Observers will still be able to see the models walk by and a bar will be set up with a donation for a drink. If you miss seeing Sylvia from Sky’s, she will be there serving her famous margaritas. Anyone can purchase the raffle tickets for beautiful baskets that are displayed at The Islander, Gift Gallery & Boutique and Leani’s Casual and Swimwear. The 50/50 and raffle tickets are: 3/$5, 7/$10, and 15/$20. Winners do not need to be present. Tickets are sold all week leading up to Saturday and including Saturday until the drawing at 1. Stop by and support the FMB Community Foundation. Thank you in advance for your support.
