Ocean Roads Presents 2^nd Annual Surf & Song Festival

3-day Event with +20 Bands to Raise Money for Blessings in a Backpack

FORT MYERS- A weekend filled with music and fun is coming to Fort Myers to benefit the local non-profit, Blessings in a Backpack.

The money raised will help this unique program feed children grades K-5 in Title 1 public schools that qualify for the Federal Free and Reduced Meal Program and may not have any or enough food on the weekends.

Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program. More information can be found at
