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.

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.

The thoughtful donations are part of an ongoing effort to support local children and bring smiles to their faces during the festive season.
