Community Outreach
Each year our team is involved with several large community outreach projects as well as many smaller projects. We take great pride in making a difference in the Wildwood community. It’s not about the recognition– it’s about the feeling of being part of something that makes a difference. Not for our benefit, but for the benefit of our city family. Our hope is that you’ll join us in our efforts to make this community it’s very best.
Check out our upcoming events below!

“The Brave Response” Inshore Fishing Tournament
“The Brave Response” is what takes place when military personnel and first responders are placed in a position to take action. Their bravery and quick response are what determine the outcome.

This is an event like no other and is for charity to benefit the non-profit “Combat Veterans to Careers”. The event will be held at Crump’s Landing Waterfront in Homosassa, FL.
