FOROS to host rally, celebrate city’s anniversary
The Friends of Randy of Sanibel (FOROS) reported that the island tradition will continue this year as the 45th running of the annual 4th of July Road Rally is on again.
“As we all keep celebrating Sanibel’s 50th anniversary of incorporating as a city, please be a part of one of it’s nearly-as-long fundraising events for island causes,” it shared.
FOROS is state-registered nonprofit entity, spearheaded by resident and “rally master” Randy Carson. It stepped up to save the rally — the second-longest running annual event on the island — after the previous organizers disbanded.
“We choose a different island-related charity each year as the beneficiary,” FOROS shared.
This year’s proceeds will support the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife.
“We will also continue a new tradition to earmark funds to donate to school-aged kids in Community Housing & Resources’ rental homes to help with back-to-school supplies in the fall,” it shared.
Sponsorship opportunities are available, and items are sought for goody bags.
