Create A Fundraiser

We're so happy you've chosen to raise funds to contribute to the success of Joe Kessler's Beach To Beach Power Swim and support awesome programs like Learn To Swim which offers free swim lessons, Sea Turtle Protection, and more.

The person who raises the most money by June 15, 2025 will win a half day boat trip on Salt Deck for up to 6 people, courtesy of Salty Daze Charters and the second highest fundraiser will win a gift bag of goodies from the Friends of the Park store. Please note that the boat trip is not available in September, October, on any major US holiday or during a major US holiday week.
