Fort Myers, FL (December 17, 2024) — The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools joined forces with Suffolk Construction and Fairways at Eagles Ridge in a generous community effort to bring holiday cheer to the students of Manatee Elementary School.
“The giving spirit of this community to support our most precious asset, our students, is always so heartwarming,” said Marshall T. Bower, President & CEO of The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools. “Suffolk Construction and the residents at Fairways understand the true meaning of the season and we cannot thank them enough!”
Through this remarkable collaboration, the residents at Fairways at Eagles Ridge played a pivotal role in securing and donating the gifts and toys, ensuring that every student at Manatee Elementary would receive a thoughtful present. Meanwhile, Suffolk Construction contributed 20 bikes, which will provide the students with an opportunity to stay active and engaged, both physically and mentally. The thoughtful donations are part of an ongoing effort to support local children and bring smiles to their faces during the festive season.

Their contributions reflect the true spirit of the holidays, reminding us all of the power of kindness and the impact of coming together to uplift our youngest members of our community.”
