On Jimmy Buffett Day, August 30, 2024, Latitude Margaritaville communities and residents rolled up their sleeves and turned out for Day of Service events to help local non-profit organizations in his honor. They joined with all Margaritaville communities, properties, resorts, restaurants, destinations, hotels, and cruises in the brand-wide events.
Jimmy Buffett Day honors the beloved singer’s legacy and celebrates the way he lived his life in support of others and community. In 1995, Buffett created Singing for Change, a non-profit organization that supports inclusive, grassroots organizations, large and small, that inspire personal growth, community integration and the enhanced awareness that, collectively, people can bring about positive change.
Latitude Margaritaville Day of Service events included beach cleanups and giving helping hands to a children’s home.
Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach residents partnered with Daytona Dog Beach, Inc., for a Daytona Dog Beach cleanup. The Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach Foundation also donated funds to Daytona Dog Beach, Inc. to help them in their mission to support and educate the public in furtherance of dog friendly beaches in the Greater Daytona Beach area.
Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head partnered with The Outside Foundation for a beach cleanup at Burkes Beach on Hilton Head Island. Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head Foundation also donated funds to The Outside Foundation to support their mission to involve youth in outdoor experiences to teach them about the importance of a healthy ecosystem.
Latitude Margaritaville Watersound residents partnered with Anchorage Children’s Home, organizing their food pantry, and assisting with property cleanup. Latitude Margaritaville Watersound Foundation also donated funds to support the non-profit in its work of providing emergency shelter, transitional living, maternity transitional living, counseling, case management and outreach services to abused and homeless youth and their families.
It was an all-round wonderful day of friends gathering to help friends and community — followed by a refreshing beverage concoction, and bite to eat back home at Latitude Margaritaville!
