July Phlocking Charity: Shoes for Kids
Celebrating 21 Years!
Summer Collection: June 16 – July 26, 2026
Our July Phlocking Charity supports the Shoes for Kids Project, whose mission is collecting and distributing shoes to students in the Charlotte County Public School System. The purpose of “Shoes for Kids” is to provide new tennis shoes to any student in the Charlotte County Public School System (pre-k, elementary, middle and high schools). The shoes are administered at the beginning of the school year, and throughout the school year as needed.
During the 2025 summer drive, we met our goal of collecting 4,800 new pairs of shoes for the start of the school year. Over the course of the previous academic year, we collected more than 6,380 pairs of new sneakers. After 21 years of the project, more than 120,000 pairs of new sneakers have been collected and distributed to local students.
Throughout the academic year, we continue working to meet the shoe needs of local school children. This mission is made possible through the generosity, hope, and faith of our community. Thank you for helping make a difference.

July Phlocking Entertainment:
It’s July and that means it’s time for our annual Jim Morris Tribute phlocking. Scotty Bryan, the “human jukebox” will be entertaining us and helping us raise money for Jim’s favorite charity. If you’ve seen Scotty perform you know he covers an extensive number of Jim’s songs as well as some “Jerry Jeff Morris”. We’ll also hear some music of some other lost legends like Hugo Duarte, Rob Mehl, and of course, Jimmy Buffet.
After retiring from the Navy, Scotty spent over fifteen years performing music in Southwest Florida. Influenced by Jimmy Buffett and Jim Morris, his performances are lively and fun, engaging audiences at local venues. He also dedicates time to dog rescue efforts, incorporating charity performances to support animal welfare. Scotty’s journey combines discipline from his Navy service with the upbeat styles of Buffett and Morris, aiming to create memorable and meaningful connections through music.
