Marathon, FL February 2020
Jolly Roger RV Resort is not just the perfect destination spot in the middle Florida Keys, it is 11 acres of the friendliest staff and most giving residents you could meet.
On Feb. 14, 2020 the resort held its Annual Spaghetti Dinner which couples as their Valentine's Day Fundraiser. Each year, this amazing group who call Marathon their second home, come together and select a charity to benefit from this yearly fundraiser. In 2020, Habitat for Humanity of the Middle Keys was blessed to be selected as the recipient of their hard work. There were over 150 residents in attendance and over seven 6' long tables filled with spectacular auction items donated from businesses and individuals in the community.
Months of planning and pounding the pavement resulted in a most successful event. Jolly Roger RV Resort donated an amazing $4,656.00 to Habitat through their efforts.
The money raised was used directly to purchase the flooring needed for 2 of the 4 homes that Habitat is currently building. As Habitat Middle Keys says, "It takes and Island" and Jolly Roger residents proved that to be true. They have selected Habitat Middle Keys to benefit from this event in 2021.
For more information on how you can partner with Habitat on their 2020 mission of repairing 30 Irma damaged homes (YES we are still repairing from the storm) and building 11 new homes in our near future thanks to our partnership with Monroe County and the City of Marathon who came together to attain land for us to build, contact Exec Director Chris Todd Young at 305-743-9828, ext. 1 or email [email protected].

Falmouth School from Maine came to Marathon in Janauary 2020 to volunteer with us. What a great group of young men and women!!! In addition, they did a fundraiser for us and contributed $3500 toward our hurricane repair program. In addition to helping us with our new builds, we partnered with St. Columba and assisted Rev. Debra in painting her new affordable rental units which will house those negatively impacted by Hurricane Irma. #FalmouthSchool #StColumba #ItTakesAnIsland #VolunteersRock #PartnershipsRock #HabitatHammersBack
