The Kiwanis Club of San Carlos Park-Estero hosted a haunted house with the theme "Raise The Dead To Feed The Living". Patrons who donated 2 cans of food received $2.00 off of the cost of admission. The cans of food collected will go to help Interfaith Caregivers of South Lee, a local food bank that serves the south Fort Myers area. Any cash proceeds raised will be used to fund projects that will benefit children in the Lee County area.

Charitable events in the Ft Myers/Naples area always get great support from the businesses, citizens and organizations of SW Florida, but there have been few times an event has generated as much excitement as "The Naples Big Event" is creating locally. People are making plans for sharing limo's, reserving hotel rooms, and buying their tickets in advance... and all with a great deal of enthusiasm!

The "Big Event" is a casino night, with one of the main sponsors being The Seminole Casino-Immokalee. The host of the evening will be Chad Oliver, an anchor for the ABC7 Morning News. There will be over $10,000 worth of prizes given away such as vacations, jewelry, gift cards and more. Casino games including blackjack, poker, roulette, and craps as well as other games will be played from 8:00 until 11:00. Music and dancing will continue until 2:00a.m..

The event is raising funds for The Children's Learning Foundation, an educational charity that helps schools and education projects that are fun and entertaining for the students. Sounds like a lot of fun for a great cause! Hope to see you there!!!

The volunteers at The Salvation Army were pleased to offer their guests samples of their original recipe doughnut holes and doughnuts. Made with the same recipe used to make doughnuts for the armed forces during World War I, the samples were not only delicious, but, gave one the sense that they were tasting a piece of history! However, this organization has far more to be proud of than just their doughnuts! Both they and the neighbors they serve should be proud of the vast array of services and support they offer to those who need it most including, but not limited to ...

  • free shelter
  • food
  • clothing
  • medical care
  • educational classes
  • vocational assessments
  • substance abuse counseling
  • mental health counseling
  • domestic violence counseling
  • and more
