Parrot Key Caribbean Grill donates to Kids’ Minds Matter
Parrot Key Caribbean Grill announced a donation of $1,138 to Kids’ Minds Matter, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting children’s mental health services in Southwest Florida through Lee Health, Golisano Children’s Hospital and their community partners. The funds were raised during the 2024 Parrot Key Caribbean Cruise-in Car Shows, a popular twice-monthly (during season) series of events that bring together car enthusiasts and community members for a good cause.
The donation represents the collective generosity of car show participants and guests who support the car shows throughout the year. Parrot Key Caribbean Grill has long been committed to fostering a sense of community, and this contribution underscores its dedication to giving back to causes that make a real impact.
“We are incredibly proud to support Kids’ Minds Matter and their vital work in our community,” said Matt Hanson, a managing-partner at Parrot Key Caribbean Grill. “Mental health is an essential component of overall well-being, and we’re excited to contribute to a cause that helps local children and families.”
The check was presented to representatives of Kids’ Minds Matter at Parrot Key Caribbean located at Salty Sam’s Marina. The funds will support local initiatives, which include mental health awareness, education, and access to care for children and their families.
Kids’ Minds Matter expressed their gratitude for the donation. “We are grateful to Parrot Key Caribbean for their continued support of children’s healthcare in our region. Gifts like their most recent donation to our Kids’ Minds Matter fund enables the continued advancement of mental health outcomes for children in crisis.” said Chris Simoneau, Chief Development, Marketing, and Communications Officer at Lee Health, in connection with Kids’ Minds Matter.
The Parrot Key Caribbean Car Shows not only showcase some of the area’s best show cars, but also highlights the power of community coming together to make a difference. Parrot Key Caribbean Grill looks forward to continuing its tradition of hosting events that inspire generosity and foster connections among Southwest Florida residents.
