Past Events

Since 2007 we have raised over $600,000 worth of charitable donations for many charities within St. Johns County and our volunteers have put in more than 9,000 community service hours. We are so excited to have continued our work into our 10th year!.

Past Events:

9/17 "Never Forget" event: First responders at Nocatee's Firestation #18 were treated to dinner while local families decorated a banner to commemorate our Heroes from 9/11. See the photos on our Events Photo Album page.
Armstrong Community Meal 8/21: - St. Johns CARES prepared and served a meal to approximately 100 migrant workers in Armstrong.
SAYS Room Revampiing - The Lady Knights Basketball Team’s Head Coach Wade Cashwell was contacted by Meg Balke at St. Johns County CARES with a great service project for the team to assist Chelsea Reppin of St. Augustine Youth Services (SAYS) to revamp a boys bedroom for ages 13-17. Coach Cashwell said this project “was a great opportunity for us” and he enjoyed coaching the players through the projects planning and designing process. Naturally, the girls chose to custom design a boys room in a basketball theme. The girls gathered and supplied the following decorations: twin bed linens, window treatments, themed wall decorations, area rug, throw blankets, decorative pillows, shower curtain, bath mat and shelving. Then on Saturday October 7th, the girls went to work assembling the decorations in the room that had fresh paint, new carpeting and furniture already provided. The girls had a ball (pun intended) decorating the room and the boy whose room they revamped told his counselor “I love my room”.

SAYS, is a nonprofit organization that provides food, shelter, clothing, education, care and therapeutic treatment to children since 1989. All SAYS children need therapeutic treatment. For most of the boys, this is due to the trauma of abuse and/or severe neglect. Your support of SAYS, helps to build a new home where the children can live, learn, heal and grow in a safe, nonthreatening environment.
