BLUE WATER FOUNDATION

Our primary objective is to provide at-risk and under-represented youth an opportunity to sail. We understand how the sea can be a mentor, as well as a challenge. Through our sailing programs, we offer young people the experiences of learning, leadership, and trying unfamiliar, challenging activities. We provide formative learning opportunities that enhance self-confidence, develop sailing competencies, and emphasize collaboration. We hope to broaden our young sailors’ perspectives and build on the capabilities they already possess.

Tears2Water LLC

There have been several significant developments here at tears2water.org that we are very excited to tell you about! Tears2Water originally started in Ecuador as a disaster relief organization in the wake of a devastating earthquake in 2016. During that year, we documented the provision of clean water for over 5,000 Ecuadorians using Sawyer water filters. We have supplied many filters over the ensuing years to survivors of natural disasters in many countries. Most filters are donated directly to disaster victims struggling for survival. We are now expanding the scope of our work to include those who chronically suffer from bad water as well as continuing to serve survivors in the wake of disasters. We now have very promising pilot programs operational in both Ecuador and Guatemala.

Ponce De Leon Conquistadors Foundation Inc

Who Are the Conquistadors? – What Do They Do? In 1979 a group of business and professional men met with a common goal: to do something to perpetuate the Spanish heritage of the Charlotte County area. Juan Ponce de Leon landed in the Charlotte Harbor area in 1521 and contributed to the first settlements in the area. Yet, there was little here to commemorate his discovery and actions. Thus the “Royal Order of Ponce de Leon Conquistadors” was founded. Originally, the primary mission was purely social. As time passed, the scope of activities expanded, and the Club began to promote Charlotte County, both at home and in nearby communities. The Conquistadors participated in local and area parades, wearing authentic period costumes aboard their parade “ship” (float), Palencia, which soon became a familiar sight as it “sailed” locally and as far away as Tampa’s annual Gasparilla Festival (Tampa’s answer to the Mardi Gras). During the last several years, members have spread the history of Ponce de Leon and his accomplishments to area schools. Dressed in full battle regalia, members have visited with literally hundreds of schoolchildren, all of whom have enjoyed the recounting of the early history of Florida. The Club has also joined with other area organizations in sponsoring sailboat races, golf and shuffleboard tournaments, and treasure hunts, all for the enjoyment of the Charlotte County populace. Early on, the Conquistadors established the tradition of reenacting Ponce de Leon’s landing on the shores of Charlotte Harbor. This event is faithfully carried out annually with the accompaniment of a flotilla of escort vessels, music, entertainment, pageantry and cannon fire, much to the pleasure of the County’s youth of all ages. In past years the mayor of Palencia, Spain, and the Consul General of Spain have brought messages from Ponce’s native land. Conquistador membership continues to enjoy many social activities throughout the year. In addition, members enjoy trips throughout the State, fishing and boating excursions, as well as golf outings. “Sister City” relations have been established with Palencia, Spain (Ponce’s birthplace) and San Juan, Puerto Rico (where Ponce served as Governor). The Club has sponsored trips to both locales during which local dignitaries have ensured memorable experienced for all. Future trips are planned to these and other locations. We encourage you to consider membership in this unique group.
