Join Us for a Special Night of Giving Back💛
We are honored to host the 10th Annual “Giving Back” event here at the Swordfish Grill & Tiki in Cortez—a tradition rooted in love, community, and support for those who mean the most to us.
This year’s event holds an especially deep meaning. As many of you know, Sara Holmes, a beloved member of our Swordfish family, tragically lost her life in a car accident caused by a drunk driver while she was driving home from work. Sara was kind, hardworking, full of life—and above all, a devoted mother. She leaves behind two beautiful daughters, Charlee and Nova, who are now the heart of this year’s Giving Back cause.
🎟 100% of ticket sales, along with all auction and raffle proceeds, will go directly to the Charlee & Nova Florida 529 Education Fund, helping secure the future Sara always wanted for them.
We’re proud to present this event in partnership with The Suncoast Post and Sande Caplin & Associates, Inc., and thrilled to announce that music will be provided by the one and only Kettle of Fish, with special guest Tim Chandler. A special thank-you to our music sponsors, 88Live Piano Bar and Clancy's Irish Pub, for making this night possible.
Date: October 20, 2025
Time: 6PM
Location: Swordfish Grill & Tiki Bar
Only 200 tickets will be sold for this heartfelt evening, so we encourage you to grab yours early and come celebrate a life well-loved, while giving back to a family that means so much to us.
🎶 Good music. Great people. A cause that truly matters.
Let’s make this the most meaningful Giving Back yet.
