‘Tween Waters Inn will host Benefit for Jerry Way
‘Tween Waters Inn Island Resort will host a benefit for 40-year veteran fishing guide Capt. Jerry Way, on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Wakefield room. Admission is $15 and includes a hog roast dinner,
cash bar, live music and silent auction.
Recently diagnosed with cancer, Capt. Jerry Way is known as one of the
longest working captains on Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Moving to
Sanibel Island in 1954 he eventually became a captain and fishing
guide, working more than 40 years on the island.
“Jerry has been a part of our island family for decades,” says fellow
Captain, Lamar Williams, organizer of the event. “When a family member
becomes sick, you help them in any way you can.”
Jeff Shuff, General Manager of ‘Tween Waters Inn added, “We are
honored to host such a great cause and event. Jerry has been a guide
and mentor to so many visitors and islanders it’s a great
opportunity for everyone to give back.”
The silent auction will feature a two-day stay at ‘Tween Waters Inn
along with other hotel stays and local participating organizations.
All of the proceeds of admission and the silent auction will benefit
Jerry Way and his family for medical and living expenses. The hog
roast dinner, venue, and portion of the cash bar proceeds are also
being donated. For more information and donations, contact Captain
Lamar Williams at: 239-340-1506.
