Christmas Eve Luminaries has been a cherished Sunset Beach Tradition for decades.  As the sun goes down on Christmas Eve, the streets come to life with a magnificent luminary display. During the day on Christmas Eve volunteers place 2400 luminaries along the streets of Sunset Beach. This is a VOLUNTEER effort.  The SBCA provides the supplies, volunteers line the streets with luminaries.  If you would like to volunteer and participate in our beloved tradition please contact us for a street assignment.  If you would like to make a donation towards supplies or co-sponsor the event please contact us at 727-687-2522 or [email protected].  If you are new to the neighborhood and would like to participate we welcome you!

Thank you for all of the Hurricane Ian Donations. A few of our Board Members drove them down to Ft. Myers and they were immediately distributed to those in need through the Cajun Navy.  The Cajun Navy had over 1,000 volunteers serve over 12,000 vehicles in 11 days.  They gave over 8.6 million worth of in kind donations from private citizens and businesses (including You).  The Cajun Navy now moves on to the next phase of assistance through their Community Caretaking Program to help to stabilize families along with other nonprofits.  To learn more about how you can continue to help visit https://volunteer.gocajunnavy.org/
