A Night Under the Stars

John and Shelly McInnis are not only known for owning the most popular beach bar, the Flora-Bama, but also for their commendable charitable work, raising funds for an organization that means the most to them. This year, their annual charity gala was a spectacular 20s-themed soirΓ©e, featuring a live and online auction; delicious foods; a cigar lounge; jazzy music; and a breathtaking firework finale. With the help of generous donors, the McInnis’ were able to raise a staggering $300,000 for Youth-Reach Gulf Coast, a faith-based, long-term home intended to heal past wounds, break generational curses, and restore area families. Both John and Shelly are so grateful to everyone who donated to this phenomenal cause, as the money raised can help dozens of young men rebuild their lives for a more promising future.
