On April 9th 2016, another dream of ours became a reality. The Philip A. Bryant Melanoma Foundation assisted the community of Sunset Beach in shading the playground @ their community center.This will make our third such structure; St. Jude’s in St. Pete, & R.O.C. (Remember Our Children) Park in Madeira Beach.
Helping our community, one shade @ a time.

Phil Phest 2014
2014-04-05 11:00 | R.E. Olds Park
Wanted to thank all involved with Phil Phest! Our efforts paid off & the day went off without a hitch! Well almost 😉
Gorgeous weather, near record breaking crowds, phenomenal music, good eats, cold drinks, & last, but not least, free skin screening!
This year we screened #291, with 84 biopsies, & 120 referrals. To date, we have 2 positive cases of melanoma. This is why we do, what we do!
Let’s not forget the hundreds of balloons we sent up to heaven! We imagine Phil with his crooked grin, shaking his head in disbelief. “What?! A party for me?!”
Here are some shots of the bands & our balloon release. Throughout the day, we fill helium balloons & have anyone write a loved one’s name on it. We figure, everyone has lost somebody.
I took these photos. (Veronica Bryant) but my sister in law, Clarissa Hughes from CDH Photography took others that can be viewed at this link:
