On October 5th, 2024, Centennial Park in Venice, Florida, will come alive with the sounds of reggae music as Reggae Nights on the Island takes over for an unforgettable evening. While music lovers gather for the good vibes and rhythmic tunes, there’s more to this event than just the beats—it's also an opportunity to support our local heroes. SRQ VETS Inc, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping veterans in the Sarasota, Manatee, and DeSoto county areas, will be present, highlighting their essential services and community impact.
The backdrop of Venice, with its relaxed coastal charm and lively arts scene, makes it the perfect setting for Reggae Nights. But what truly sets this event apart is the involvement of SRQ VETS, a local organization whose mission is to ensure veterans receive the assistance they need in their time of transition and beyond. From transportation assistance and minor car repairs to providing bike donations and bus passes, SRQ VETS is there for those who have served our country.
By attending Reggae Nights, you'll not only experience some of the best live reggae music in Southwest Florida but also help raise awareness for the vital work SRQ VETS does within the community. Their presence at the event will include opportunities for attendees to learn more about how they can contribute to the cause—whether through donations or by spreading the word about the services provided.
SRQ VETS Inc isn’t just another nonprofit. Their wide range of services covers everything from mobility ramps and grab bars to utility assistance with water, electric, internet, and even cell phone bills. These services help veterans regain their independence, offering crucial support that keeps them connected and safe. The organization is committed to helping veterans overcome challenges, whether through minor home modifications or car donations to keep them on the road.
Their belief is simple: it is up to the community to serve those who have served us. At Reggae Nights, SRQ VETS will be on hand to share their mission, connect with attendees, and provide information on how everyone can take part in giving back to the men and women who have given so much to the country.
With live performances from Drifting Roots, Vibes Farm, Badda Skat, Collé Kharis, and Ras Chakai, Reggae Nights on the Island promises a night full of energy and good vibes. It’s the perfect opportunity for reggae aficionados and music lovers alike to come together and enjoy the incredible atmosphere that only a reggae event can offer.
But beyond the music, this night serves as a reminder of the strength of the Venice community and its dedication to uplifting its veterans. The connection between music and healing runs deep, and SRQ VETS will showcase how the community can make a difference in the lives of those who have served. From minor home modifications like handrails and mobility ramps to ensuring veterans have access to basic utilities like water and electricity, the organization is making an impact, one service at a time.
