Join Us in Supporting Our Community!

This year’s hurricane season has tested us in ways we never expected, but it’s also given us a chance to reassess our mission at Sunshine Scenic Tours and where we’re headed. While our pirate spirit is at the heart of what we do, we’re aiming to be pirates with a purpose. Our focus is on rebuilding not just physically, but with a renewed dedication to our community and a deeper commitment to protecting and celebrating Boca Ciega Bay!

As we work toward reopening, we’re focusing on two exciting initiatives:

1. Expanding our Eco-Educational Series: Our series, Dive Into Boca Ciega Bay!, continues to grow, educating locals and visitors about the unique ecosystem we call home. We have just wrapped filming on the first episode of a series that will follow environmental recovery post hurricanes Helene and Milton.

2. Introducing Penny the Pirate Pup! Our beloved pirate dog, Penny, is the star of a brand-new children’s book full of adventure on the high seas, perfect for young readers.

But we can't do this alone—we need your help to make it all possible!

Exciting Opportunity: National Lunch Week Event!

On November 8th, Sunshine Scenic Tours will be visiting Dunedin Elementary School as part of National Lunch Week, where Penny the Pirate Pup will be read to children during their lunch hour. This special event will be covered by our local news, and we’ll be giving away copies of Penny the Pirate Pup as a surprise gift!

We’re looking for sponsors to help bring this magical moment to life. Here’s how you can get involved:

- Full Sponsorship: Sponsor the entire event and ensure that every child goes home with a copy of Penny the Pirate Pup for $9,500.

- Partial Sponsorship: Sponsor 50 books for just $1,250 and make a lasting impact on these children’s lives.

By joining us as a sponsor, you’ll not only help bring smiles to the kids but also become part of our journey to rebuild, grow, and strengthen our connection with the community we cherish.

To learn more about sponsoring this event or to get involved in other ways, please reply to this email or contact us at [email protected].

Together, we can come back stronger than ever. Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,
Dustin O'Neal
