Salt Life Food Shack is continuing its tradition of supporting The DONNA Foundation’s mission to provide financial assistance and support for families living with breast cancer and fund critical research. This month, all three Salt Life Food Shack locations — Jacksonville Beach, St. Augustine Beach and Fernandina Beach — will participate in the month-long “Finish Breast Cancer” fundraising campaign.
Throughout the month, guests can contribute to the cause by adding a donation of any amount to their bill. As a thank-you, donors will receive a $5 off coupon for their next visit to the Shack. All of the donations collected go directly to The DONNA Foundation and its mission.
Salt Life Food Shack’s support for The DONNA Foundation spans 13 years and is rooted in a shared vision for community support. Since four people are diagnosed with breast cancer daily on the First Coast, the reality is everyone is touched by this disease in some way.
“From hosting fundraisers to participating in community events, this collaboration has become a cornerstone of Salt Life Food Shack’s commitment to giving back,” said Jeff Jabot, owner/operator of Salt Life Food Shack. “To date, Salt Life Food Shack has donated over $10,000 to The DONNA Foundation to support its mission. We are hoping to double that amount through this year’s campaign.”
Salt Life Food Shack’s commitment extends beyond fundraising at the Shack. On Sunday, Feb. 2, it co-hosted the DONNA Marathon Finish Line VIP Party with Surfer The Bar, celebrating the runners, survivors and supporters who embody the spirit of hope and determination that defines DONNA Marathon Weekend.
“The strength of our partnership with Salt Life Food Shack is a testament to the power of community,” said Amanda Napolitano, executive director of The DONNA Foundation. “Their ongoing support for over a decade has helped us deliver life-changing assistance to breast cancer patients and fund the research needed to end this disease. Every dollar donated through this campaign eliminates barriers to care for breast cancer patients.”
Established in June 2023, The DONNA Foundation has served more than 20,647 families by providing more than $6.5 million in financial services and $3.3 million in support of research. The DONNA Foundation is committed to creating a world where breast cancer patients have unrestricted access to successful treatment, empowering them to overcome challenges and ultimately finish breast cancer.
Salt Life Food Shack invites the community to participate in the “Finish Breast Cancer” campaign by dining and donating at any of their locations during February. Those who wish to support the foundation directly can donate on the foundation’s website year-round at TheDONNAFoundation.org.
