The Sanibel-Captiva Optimist Club invites you, your family, your friends and your leashed pet to walk/run on Sanibel’s Bowman’s Beach in the charity 5K Jingle Bell Walk to benefit local children’s needs. Start your walk anytime between 8 and 9 a.m. on Saturday, December 1.
Hey, kids! We hear that Santa will stop to see you at the beach. Bring the family with you to join in the fun.
Pre-registration is available online at www.sancapoptimist.org. Registration will also be at the beach starting at 7:30 a.m. Parking is free for participants as are T-shirts, water and refreshments. Registration donations are $20 per person while kids 10 and under and pets are free.
Dogs that participated in past years’ Optimist’s Wave of Hope beach walks speak highly of the fun and are straining at their leashes to romp on the beautiful Sanibel beach, all for a great “claus.” People have fun, too.
Following the Jingle Bell Walk, the City of Sanibel Recreation Center will hold a free Block Party from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. open to everyone to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Rec Center.
The city’s Rec Center has been a partner for the Optimists in the Junior Anglers (kids’ fishing) and the Youth Basketball League.
