Our Oysters have shown up in a big way. Every name on this list is a team member who stepped up and chose to be the one.

Because of all of you, we’re at $6,645 and still climbing.

To our community, thank you for showing up alongside us. This is what happens when our team and our guests come together for something bigger.

We’ve got just over 3 hours left and we’re within reach of our $10,000 goal.

Let’s finish this.

Be the one.

We have been reflecting on Veterans Day and wanted to share our gratitude. We had the privilege of serving 564 veterans on Veterans Day and are thankful for every person who spent part of their day with us.

We also asked guests to round up their checks on Veterans Day to support Wreaths Across America through Shuckin' Good Cause, and thanks to you, we were able to make a meaningful donation. Your generosity continues to ripple forward.

There is still a real need at Sarasota National Cemetery. Nearly 28,000 veterans rest there, and only about half of the wreaths needed have been sponsored.

If you would like to help ensure every hero is remembered this season, you can sponsor a wreath or learn more at WreathsAcrossAmerica.org/fl0250

Huge thanks to the amazing 7th graders from SKY Academy Venice Kindness Club, led by Founder and Leader Liz Connolly!

These incredible students collected and donated 330 books to our Book Nook at Anna Maria Oyster Bar North Port, helping share the love of reading with families in our community. 📚

We were proud to treat them to lunch and Key Lime Pie at AMOB North Port, where Amanda Horne talked with them about why reading is so important and why we have Book Nooks in all of our restaurants.

The Kindness Club doesn’t stop there. These students read to preschool children every month, and the 6th graders read with seniors monthly. Their dedication to spreading kindness and connection through reading inspires us all.

Dressed in pink to raise awareness for breast cancer, these young leaders are showing what it means to make a difference in their community through compassion and action.

Dive Into Reading is an award winning literacy program where volunteers mentor rising 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders from Title I elementary schools while enjoying breakfast together. You will help them boost their reading skills and build confidence.

The minimum commitment is one session per week from 8:30 to 10:45 am in June, Monday through Wednesday, along with one 45 minute virtual training session.

It is simple, meaningful, and makes a lifelong difference.
Mentors of all ages are welcome (yes, high schoolers too).
