You’re invited to enjoy a delicious meal while supporting island firefighters and the broader community!
The Sanibel Firefighters Benevolent Fund is hosting its inaugural First Annual Pancake Breakfast on December 6th from 8:30 to 11 a.m. at Fire Station 171. This is a chance to meet local firefighters and help launch this new initiative.
The Benevolent Fund, recently started by District 17 of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1826, raises funds to support firefighters and their families in times of need. The fund also plans to assist local organizations like CROW and FISH, and Sanibel residents.
Enjoy fluffy, freshly made pancakes, along with orange juice, water, and hot coffee, served right in the station’s apparatus bay.
As Ed Zarick, District Vice President, explains, this event is a crucial step to “jumpstart our fund” and raise awareness. A donation per plate is requested to contribute to the cause.
While you’re there, you can purchase the new Sanibel Firefighters 2026 Calendar (with signing opportunities!) and holiday-themed T-shirts, with all proceeds benefiting the fund.
Come out for a great breakfast and show your support for those who protect our community!
Location: Fire Station 171, 2351 Palm Ridge Road, Sanibel.
