SBT Sponsors Thanksgiving Community Dinner

On Sunday, November 18th, 2018, hundreds of people from the North Greenwood community in Clearwater, Florida gathered together to share a Thanksgiving meal. SBT donated food, tents, and tables to help make the event a success. O'Neil Larkin graciously hosted the event in his front yard, which is located across the street from the SBT and Watercraft Superstore factories. Many leaders from the community attended the event  including Clearwater Mayor, George Cretekos; Clearwater Chief of Police, Dan Slaughter; and Clearwater City Manager, Bill Horne.  

Owner of SBT, Greg Pickren, accepts Appreciation Award

Greg Pickren, owner of SBT, was presented with an award of appreciation for his long history of sponsoring the Thanksgiving dinner. After accepting the award, he spoke about kindness, "This Thanksgiving community dinner always has been and always will be about kindness. As you look around you can see many acts of kindness here. We have our volunteers smiling as they donate their time to serve food; we have police officers keeping our event safe and making sure everyone who wants to come can attend; we have families patiently lined up making friends with community members as they wait for food. We hope our Thanksgiving dinner inspires a spirit of kindness that lasts through the holiday season and well into the new year. SBT is proud to be part of this strong, kind community."
