On January 18th, we gathered bright and early at the Sea Turtle Pavilion on Siesta Beach for a community beach cleanup that truly made a difference. Though it was a cold and foggy Sarasota morning, the spirit of service was strong — 18 amazing volunteers showed up ready to roll up their sleeves and protect one of our city’s most beloved shorelines.
Our crew worked together to collect bags of trash and debris, helping to keep Siesta Beach as beautiful as ever while protecting the wildlife that calls it home. This effort wasn’t just about picking up litter — it was about community, connection, and caring for the environment we all share.
A special thank-you goes to Michael Mcdougald of Right Thing Agency, an SEO agency based here in Sarasota, for organizing this event and making it possible. And an extra shout-out to Olaf from the Right Thing team, who represented the agency on-site and helped lead the day’s efforts.
We’re so proud of what we accomplished together. These types of events remind us that small acts, when done collectively, can create a lasting impact on our beaches, our community, and our future.
