Fashion Show Raises Over $12,000

The Fort Myers Beach Community Foundation’s Fashion Show in Santini Plaza this past weekend raised over $12,000. The event was sold out. The money raised came from swag bag sales, raffle baskets, bar donations from Skyes Restaurant, 50/50 ticket sales and The King Foundation. 

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.
