Hancock, Heather
|
One of our largest fundraisers each year, and we keep setting the goal higher! Donations from all over the state of Florida come in to help us raise money for all the wonderful projects we have throughout the year. Our main goal with donations is to get the bid winner through your businesses door! We love items too, but gift certificates are the best way to get repeat or new customers in. Typically the event is in February and hosted by the great team at WOKC through their generous donation of air time and radio celebrity! Held at CenterState Bank onsite! Worked by Key Club and Kiwanis Club members. Come join the fun! |
| Santa in the Park |
Griffin, Angie

Annual Santa photo opportunity for everyone. Donations accepted. Dates throughout December. Key Club and Kiwanis Club members come together to take photos of children and pets of all ages with the "local" Santa! Another great fundraiser and tradition in the park pavilion. |
