🔥🍱 INTRODUCING: Hibachi for Heroes! 🍱🔥

A one-of-a-kind charity event featuring a full hibachi dinner, great company, and an opportunity to support an incredible cause. ❤️

All proceeds will benefit Srq Vets, an organization that is very close to my heart and dedicated to supporting our local heroes. A special thank you to Rob Kehs for agreeing to do this with me! I wanted to do an event that was different than some of the rest! 🇺🇸🎖️

🎟️ Early bird tickets will be released soon!
📣 Sponsorship opportunities are available now!
🎁 We are also seeking silent auction donations and raffle items!

If you or your business would like to become a sponsor, donate an item, or learn more, please don’t hesitate to call or text me! More details soon!📱💙

On a personal note, I am incredibly excited and honored to be serving as Co-Chair of my first charity event! 🥹❤️

For those who have known me for years, you know giving back has always been a huge part of my life. In Louisiana, I founded a nonprofit serving military families 🇺🇸, and since then I’ve always found a way to stay involved in causes that matter. This event feels like coming home to something I truly love—bringing people together and making a difference. ✨

You served. You sacrificed. And right now, there's a good chance the VA, the state of Florida, and Sarasota County owe you more than you're receiving. 💙

Monthly tax-free disability compensation. A full property tax exemption if you have a total and permanent service-connected disability. Free VSO representation to appeal a claim that was denied or rated too low. Professional licensing fee waivers for veterans entering skilled trades or healthcare.

Most Sarasota County veterans don't know these benefits exist. Not because they don't qualify. Because nobody told them.

We put it all in one place. Head to the link in our bio to read the full blog and share this with a veteran who needs to see it. 🇺🇸

Buy a Brick! The Parrish Civic Association is proud to offer you the opportunity to place a commemorative brick in the Parrish Community Park.

Orders must be placed by Sept. 9 to arrive in time for installation ahead of Veterans Day. Proceeds will be used to promote Parrish, preserve its history and used in projects to beautify the Village of Parrish.

“They say that to create lasting memories, you must first pave the way.”
