Students from Operation Graduate had an opportunity to tour SBT with Greg Pickren on February 18, 2019. Operation Graduate is an after school program run by Paula Kay at United Way. Students from the neighborhood surrounding SBT gather together after school to learn about building a successful future. The program teaches students how to maintain a strong GPA, build a competitive resume, and apply to colleges. SBT hosted Operation Graduate students at SBT, so they could see the inside of a business and learn about how the company operates. Greg Pickren and SBT manager, Cj Lammers, spoke to the students about what they look for when they are hiring and qualities that make good employees. Greg Pickren, owner of SBT, commented about the Operation Graduate tour:

This year SBT and WCSS supported Oldsmar Cares by attending their 9th Annual Gala. The event raised $137, 957. Oldsmar Cares' mission is to provide stop gap rent and utility assistance, a food pantry, and a clothes closet- at no cost- to those in need in the greater Oldsmar area. The nonprofit organization also provides health screenings and employment services to individuals who reside in the 34677 zip code, which happens to be the neighborhood of another Pickren family company, SEI, 

Watercraft Superstore was an official sponsor of the Gala. They will continue to support Oldsmar Cares this spring as they've been selected as the official Skyway Ski Show charity recipient.
