About the Raffle Proceeds

Tampa Bay Free Beaches is diligently working to establish East Beach in Ft. DeSoto Park, Pinellas County as a County-approved clothing-optional beach. With local elections approaching in November, the months that follow will become ever more BUSY, IMPORTANT, and CRITICAL to our mission.

A principal factor in accelerating our success to date is the work of our expert lobbyist. To "cross the finish line" at East Beach, our lobbyist's advice and involvement will be more important than ever. Associated expenses will, therefore, rise significantly during the upcoming busy period. 

The board of TBFB considers raising funds through this raffle to be part of a "strategically timed, major push" towards reaching our goal. All proceeds from this raffle will be applied to offset a portion of that cost.
