THANK YOU!

To everyone who attended, watched the live stream, or was with us in spirit, we want to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for an amazing first year memorial celebration. Almost every activity sold out, free events were well-attended, and the Second Line Parade and Party in the Park with “Just a Few 5000+ of our Friends” was so much fun!

We're excited to share we exceeded our fundraising goals, supported many local businesses during a typically slow season and, most importantly, celebrated Key West's favorite son in a respectful and honorable way. We hope he would have been proud.

Our sincere gratitude goes out to every sponsor and supporter, whose contributions, big and small, made these events possible. Our hearts are with his legion of fans, friends, bandmates, and especially the family who so generously share his legacy with all of us.

We warmly invite you all to join us again next year for Labor Day Weekend in Key West to celebrate and remember with “Just a Few Friends.”
