Beach Cleanup!

The Easter Bunny will surely be on his way to Sanibel very soon! The Children’s Education Center of the Islands needs your help to clean the beach to ready for his Springtime arrival!

We are inviting our community and friends that are visiting our island to help raise money to support CECI's mission of providing an affordable nature-based preschool education and care to the next generation of island stewards.  

Your hard work will be rewarded with Easter treats, prizes for top performers, & a photo op with a certain fluffy special guest!!!  Don't miss out on this socially-distanced day of collective community giveback.

While individuals may assist in cleanup at no cost, we are offering 3 avenues for you to support our mission through this event: 

  1. Buy a ticket(s) to the event. (Each ticket includes: 1 set of cleanup supplies, 1 Easter Egg reward, 1 Easter Bunny Photo) 

  2. Pledge your support to one of our students & their classroom team. (Reward them for all of the cleanup they will do on your behalf!)  Just click on the large purple button, credit one of the classes or children, and donate!)

  3. Make a general donation in recognition of the event and the children!

Ticketed participants have the opportunity to win prizes. We challenge families, groups, & teams to demonstrate spirit to help bring energy to the day! CECI gear and Easter/Spring-themed attire are encouraged! Reminder to maintain social distancing at all locations; Masks & distancing will be required on CECI property. Coordinated group attire or Easter/Spring-themed outfits are encouraged!
