We are incredibly grateful to Suncoast View and ABC7 for giving us the opportunity to share our mission, our story, and our vision for removing barriers in education throughout Sarasota County.

During the segment, we talked about why getting the right supplies directly into schools and classrooms matters, how our first partnership with the Fruitville Elementary PTO is helping us build a sustainable model, and our hope to eventually bring that support to schools across our community.

We also got to share a little about what is coming next, including Please Leave By 8, our upcoming adults-only day party benefiting Turtles for Tomorrow. It is the perfect chance to have a great time, support local students, and still be home at a reasonable hour. 🪩🐢

Just like Sarasota’s loggerhead hatchlings, every child has incredible potential. Sometimes, they simply need their community to help clear the path.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, partnered, volunteered, shared our story, attended an event, or cheered us on. You are helping turn this vision into real support for local students.
