We are proud to see our community come together in such a big way. This year’s Lawn Party by the Bay is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet, with incredible restaurant participation and strong local support. It is always inspiring to watch neighbors, businesses, and volunteers unite for a day that is fun, delicious, and purposeful.

For us at Kiwanis of Longboat Key, the heart of this event is the impact it makes for children in foster care. The support raised helps provide real opportunities for these kids, from educational needs to meaningful activities that help them feel supported and seen.

We are grateful to everyone who plays a part in making this event special. The spirit of giving, community, and compassion is what makes Longboat Key truly shine, and we are honored to continue serving alongside you.
