Come if Ye Dare…to A Night on Treasure Island Fundraiser

Palm Coast, FL – Volunteers on behalf of the Josh Crews Writing Project are excited to announce a new fundraiser for their cause, A Night on Treasure Island.

The event will be held Saturday, October 20th, 2012 from 6:30pm to 11:00pm at the Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience, across from Marineland at 9505 Ocean Shore Blvd., in St. Augustine.

The Josh Crews Writing Project was created by family and friends after Josh’s life was taken before his story was ever finished. An avid reader and prolific writer, Josh believed knowledge was power and his legendary storytelling skills touched everyone he met. A memorial scholarship fund was set up through the Flagler County Education Foundation to continue Josh’s legacy of encouraging and empowering young creative writers in Flagler County elementary schools. All proceeds from the event will support this endeavor.

Tickets are $100 per person, or a table of ten may be purchased for $85 per person. Tickets include dinner, complimentary beer, wine, and, of course, perfectly potent rum punch, a pirate favorite.

Scurvy scaliwags, sailors, stowaways and wenches looking to get into character may arrive by boat, sloop or dinghy thanks to discounted boat slip rentals of $1 per foot at the Marineland Marina.  

The evening’s entertainment will include a silent auction and several pirate games, including one where guests avoid the contagious “Black Spot.”

Organizer Carla Cline said, “Treasure Island was one of Josh’s favorite books. If you never read it or haven’t recently, this is a perfect excuse to pick up a copy. Knowing the story will also give you an advantage in the puzzle contest we have planned.”

To purchase tickets, stop by Woody’s Bar-B-Q located at 99 Flagler Plaza Dr. on SR 100 in Palm Coast, or visit http://www.flagleredfoundation.org/donate-now?view=donation.
