SUMMARY:Ikebana Annual Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Ikebana International Chapter #65 of Saint Petersburg will hold its 61st Annual Exhibition March 4-6\, 2022 at the Treasure Island Community Center. Free and open to the public\, this elaborate exhibition of Japanese floral design\, known as ikebana\, will feature more than fifty stunning flower arrangements\, all created by members of the chapter. This year’s theme is Wondrous Wood. Those attending can expect to see many shapes\, sizes and varieties of wood\, from driftwood to sculptural branches\, woven into the floral arrangements. Typically\, in ikebana\, the containers or vases in which arrangements are staged are ceramic\, but this year expect to see many made out of wood\, including a number of exquisite baskets created from bamboo or vines.

SUMMARY:Skyway 10K
DESCRIPTION:To date\, the SKYWAY BRIDGE RUN™ has raised more than $1.8 million for the Armed Forces Families Foundation! One hundred percent of every race registration fee dollar goes to fund projects that support the families of our service members. Since 2018\, the Armed Forces Families Foundation has been able to contribute nearly $2 million back into our communities for infrastructure projects that benefit the families of our military. \nThe first Sunday in March\, runners and walkers of all levels cross over the span of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg\, Florida. Covering three Florida counties\, the bridge serves as the breathtaking setting and 6.2-mile course for a once-in-a-lifetime race. Each year\, 100% of all proceeds benefit the Armed Forces Families Foundation and support our military and their families! \nVIP registration will cost $300 per person and features access to free food and drinks\, VIP restrooms\, a gaming area\, and VIP swag at the VIP tent on race weekend\, both during the race expo on Saturday and on race day on Sunday at Tropicana Field. \nUnlike the 2021 race\, which was held virtually\, the 2022 race is scheduled to resume being held in person. However\, race officials will continue to monitor guidance and recommendations from the CDC and the Florida Department of Health. \nClick Here to Volunteer

SUMMARY:Nikole Hannah-Jones\, Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of The 1619 Project\, to speak at Woodson Warriors Scholarships event
DESCRIPTION:Nikole Hannah-Jones\, Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of The 1619 Project\, will speak at The Coliseum in St. Petersburg on Sunday\, March 27\, 2022\, from 4-7 p.m. at a gala fundraiser for the Woodson Warriors Scholarships Fund\, hosted by the Woodson African American Museum of Florida.\nNow in its fourth year\, the Woodson Warriors Scholarship Fund currently supports 30 St. Petersburg African American scholars throughout their undergraduate college studies. When 10 more scholars are added this spring\, the number will be 40.\n“The Woodson Warriors Scholarship program is a valuable tool for local African American students to access needed college funds\,” said St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch in a statement. “I’d like to thank the Carter G. Woodson African American History Museum for its leadership on this important cause\, as well as Nikole Hannah-Jones for lending her time to support the mission.”\nThe program on March 27 will also include presentations from several scholars and a “Bid From the Heart” led by auctioneer Jason Alpert.\nIndividual tickets $100. Sponsorships available. To purchase\, go to URL or click on QR code below. \nAbout Nikole Hannah-Jones\nNikole Hannah-Jones won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for her work on The New York Times’s The 1619 Project\, which\, in the words of the Times\, aimed “to reframe the country’s history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of Black Americans at the very center of the United States’ national narrative.” A staff writer at the New York Times Magazine\, Hannah-Jones has spent her career investigating racial inequality and injustice. Her reporting has earned her the MacArthur Fellowship\, known as the Genius grant\, a Peabody Award\, two George Polk Awards and the National Magazine Award three times. Hannah-Jones also earned the John Chancellor Award for Distinguished Journalism and was named Journalist of the Year by the National Association of Black Journalists and the Newswomen’s Club of New York.\nIn 2020 Hannah-Jones was inducted into the Society of American Historians\, and in 2021 she was named a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She also serves as the Knight Chair of Race and Journalism at Howard University\, where she is founding the Center for Journalism & Democracy. \nAbout the Woodson Warriors Scholarships\nIn 2019 a silent auction of Jane Bunker’s paintings raised $43\,000 for 17 scholars. In 2021\, through generous donations and painting sales\, $137\,000 was awarded to 30 scholars. Bunker’s paintings are currently on view at the Chihuly Museum through April 24\, 2022. The artist’s proceeds from sales of these paintings will be donated to the scholars.\nIn three years this project has grown substantially thanks to contributions from many generous donors – particularly the Milkey Family Foundation\, the Tampa Bay Rays\, the Valspar Paint Company\, and BayCare Health System.
