CROW announces return of annual Taste of the Islands
The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife announced its upcoming 40th Taste of the Islands.
Last year’s “reimagined” fundraiser was so successful that CROW has adopted the new format for this year. The event will continue in participating restaurants and last throughout the month of November.
Bank of the Islands/Edison National Bank will serve as presenting sponsor for the 12th year.
For the event, the participating restaurants will offer “Taste” items to showcase their cuisine. A portion of the proceeds from those designated food and beverages that are sold will be donated to CROW.
Participants can purchase a “Taste Passport” with a listing and map of the restaurants. Each restaurant will stamp or punch the passport. Only passport holders will be eligible to vote for their favorite restaurant to win the coveted People’s Choice Award and be entered into a drawing for prizes, including vacation stays and gift certificates. Passports will be available for purchase at CROW and participating restaurants, or online for pick up at “Will Calls” both on and off Sanibel.
Additionally, every Saturday a “CROW Crawl” will feature different restaurants in the same area. The CROW tent, along with Animal Ambassadors, will be in front of one of the restaurants with event sponsors featured outside other restaurants in the region.
Event proceeds ensure CROW’s continued success providing the highest quality care and treatment of injured, ill and orphaned wildlife through state-of-the-art veterinary care. Funds also support public educational exhibits at the Visitor Education Center.
CROW welcomed and thanked lead media sponsor Waterman Broadcasting, ABC7/NBC2.
