Banks of the Islands provides lead gift
Bank of the Islands and its founders, President Robbie Roepstorff and Chief Executive Officer Geoff Roepstorff, provided financial support to the Captiva Chapel by the Sea’s new Recovery Campaign. The couple was married at the chapel, as was their son and daughter-in-law, Matt and Mairin. Due to damages from Hurricane Milton, an estimated $150,000 of work is required for the chapel and its property. According to the chapel’s Board of Associates, the building needs leveling, raising, a new foundation, stairs and ramps. In addition, over a dozen Australian pines must be taken down and up to 4 feet of sand must be removed from the property, including work to uncover the headstones buried in the Historic Captiva Cemetery. Thanks to its reserve funds, the work can begin immediately, but the restoration will deplete its reserves, so the chapel has launched a new campaign to replenish the funds. The chapel’s goal is to raise $150,000. To donate, visit https://www.captivachapel.com/. Checks can also be mailed to Captiva Chapel By The Sea Treasurer, Box 188, Captiva, FL 33924.
