The Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club recently raised $1,400 through its “Happy Bucks” initiative to support Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents serving at Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW).
At the beginning of each Rotary meeting, members participate in “Happy Bucks,” a tradition where they share personal or community updates while making a small donation. Contributions support a variety of causes, including club operations, scholarships, disaster relief efforts like ShelterBox, and timely community needs.
In this instance, members chose to direct their giving toward TSA agents in recognition of their ongoing service and dedication. The funds will be converted into Publix gift cards to directly benefit TSA personnel at RSW.
Rotarian Michael Young is leading the effort to coordinate the purchase of gift cards and, in partnership with Eric Jackson, will ensure they are distributed to the appropriate individuals.
“This effort reflects the heart of our Rotary club,” said Paul Hawkins, President of the Sanibel-Captiva Rotary Club. “Our members are always looking for ways to give back and show appreciation for those who serve our community.”
This initiative reflects the club’s continued commitment to service above self and its appreciation for those who help keep our region safe and connected.
