Have Fun, Help Fight Cancer

A quick reminder about our “Shade is Good” fundraiser
It’s about the kids, the sun, and cancer
The Friends of Sarasota County Parks kicked off 2016 with a new initiative: Shade Is Good: Helping to Fight Skin Cancer.  Our goal over the next five years is to provide additional shade at Sarasota County’s athletic fields and recreational areas through the purchase and installation of shade structures.
==
The funds to support this project will come from our the sale of Shade Is Good merchandise  (UV certified and hydration products) at community events, as well as through fundraising partnerships with youth athletic leagues and local medical professionals; through an e-commerce site to be launched late spring 2016, and through grants, sponsorships, and net proceeds of special events.
==
Our first event is the Orioles vs Atlanta Braves game at 6 p.m. on March 29th at Ed Smith Stadium. Enjoy the game from the World Series Suites with dinner, beverages and a fun-filled evening all included. Tickets are available at Foscp.org
