Sponsor Our ArticlesThe Hilton Head Island community demonstrated incredible unity by raising $200,000 at the ‘Rays Your Pint’ fundraiser for Pockets Full of Sunshine. This support will help open the Sunshine House, a new facility aimed at empowering adults with disabilities. Local Legend Brewing Company and SERG Restaurant Group partnered to make this event possible, showcasing the community’s commitment to inclusivity and support for individuals with disabilities.
In a heartwarming display of community spirit, Local Legend Brewing Company recently hosted a fantastic fundraiser known as the Rays Your Pint event, in partnership with the SERG Restaurant Group on Sunday, February 16. The love and support shown by local residents and businesses helped raise a staggering $200,000 for the remarkable nonprofit organization, Pockets Full of Sunshine.
For nearly a decade, Pockets Full of Sunshine has dedicated itself to empowering adults with disabilities. This mission received a significant boost as the funds raised will go toward their new facility known as the Sunshine House, located at 64 Arrow Road. This new hub promises to be a game changer, allowing Pockets Full of Sunshine to expand its valuable services and provide a welcoming place for its members.
Pockets Full of Sunshine has been operating out of a less-than-ideal warehouse setting that presented various challenges, including lack of running water and issues with accessibility compliance. However, last year marked a turning point when the organization took the bold step of purchasing a spacious 4,500-square-foot building on Arrow Road. The Sunshine House is anticipated to officially open this summer with a vision of being a nurturing space for adults transitioning from schooling to community life.
What makes the Sunshine House so special? It’s not just a physical space; it’s a beacon of hope and opportunity. This new location will host various classes and services designed to support and reinforce the skills of adults with disabilities. It aims to serve as a vibrant hub for social activities and events, where residents can build relationships, gain confidence, and thrive in their community.
The Rays Your Pint event was an incredible success, resonating with the community’s commitment to making a difference. Emcee Andrea Gannon emphasized how the overwhelming support from residents was palpable, showcasing the unity that Hilton Head Island is known for. Local partners generously offered their time, resources, and auction items, contributing to the evening’s excitement and success.
Notable sponsors included well-known names like Tito’s Handmade Vodka, US Foods, and the Coca-Cola Company. Even more impressively, tickets for the event sold out in less than two hours after being released, which speaks volumes about the desire for community engagement and support for Pockets Full of Sunshine.
If the celebration of giving wasn’t enough to get the community buzzing, there’s also exciting news on the horizon. The Local Legend Brewing Company is set to open its doors in mid-March at 1014 William Hilton Parkway. This brewery promises to be an exciting place for fun and relaxation, featuring an inviting atmosphere with games, live music, and a restaurant space for all to enjoy.
Whether you’re a local resident or just visiting, it’s evident that Hilton Head Island thrives on community support and love, especially for initiatives that empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives. The ongoing efforts of organizations like Pockets Full of Sunshine demonstrate that together, we can truly make a difference.
Stay tuned for the opening of the Sunshine House later this summer and the unveiling of the Local Legend Brewing Company, both of which promise to be wonderful additions to the community. Together, let’s continue to uplift and support one another in this beautiful island paradise.
