Sandbar Restaurant In Anna Maria Island Hosts Christmas for Kid’s Party!

It was a special day for underprivileged kids at the Sandbar Restaurant.  It was the Annual Lawton Chiles Christmas Party.  

Close to 80 kids were at the event receiving a pair of shoes, an outfit of clothing an appropriate toy for each child and a voucher for a food basket for the family of each kid.  The kids were from Hope Foundation and RCMA, a nonprofit child care center in Palmetto.

Santa arrived by Jet-Ski and was greeted by the kids who were overjoyed to see him.  There were so many smiles on the children who are less fortunate than most.  It was a very special day for these kids.

Thanks to everyone who participated to make this such a great day for the kids.
