Hurricane Relief Mixer & Fundraiser

In response to the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene and Milton, CWC-FPRA has teamed up with Watershed Hospitality Concepts and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County to come together for pizza and purpose. We will collect donations for the Suncoast Disaster Recovery Fund and Season of Sharing, both funds powered by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. Longtime CWC champion, board member, and sponsor, Joe Curley, APR, CPRC, has generously offered to match donations made during the evening, so any gift – large or small – will have a meaningful impact. Anne Kirn Rollings and Watershed Hospitality Concepts are incentivizing even more giving through “pie bucks,” as well. All are welcome. Hope to see you there! Stay strong, Sarasota.
