Mid-May marks Cabana Breezes yearly Chicken Wing Eating fundraiser/contest for The Turtle Hospital. Groups of four gathered to chow down on plain burgers, dry wings, and pitchers of beer. Collectors Corner, Tilden’s Scuba Center, Marathon Lumber, The Turtle Hospital, Marathon Coast Guard, US1 Radio, Smith Automotive, and a few walk in teams all gave their best shot to finish all of their food and beer the fastest.

The event raised $1,000, which was donated to the hospital this week. We’d like to send a big thank you to Cabana Breeze’s, Captain Hook’s, The Stuffed Pig, Collectors Corner, Advantage Rehab & Fitness, Best Bet Sportfishing, Superior Electric, Raymond James – Frances Strauss, The Weekly Newspaper, Law Offices of Campbell & Malafy.

Although the Turtle Hospital did not come in first place we still had a great time. Congratulations to Tilden’s Scuba Center who took home the trophy for first place.

Thank you from all of us to the participants and spectators who came out to cheer on the teams eating to help save sea turtles.
