Beachside Hospitality Group Launches Seventh Annual Amazon Wish List Give Back For Local Teachers

BRADENTON, Fla. – July 23, 2026 — For the seventh consecutive year, Beachside Hospitality Group is proud to launch its annual Amazon Wish List Give Back initiative, a program designed to support local educators as they prepare their classrooms with supplies for the school year ahead.

Beachside Hospitality will be gifting a total of $12,000 for this year’s program. The giveaway kicked off on July 21, and 48 winners will be announced on July 31. Beachside Hospitality Group owns and operates over 10 restaurant brands across Florida, with a focus on waterfront dining experiences.

Teachers are encouraged to share their Amazon wish lists by commenting on a designated post on the Facebook page of the restaurant location within the respective county they teach in. The deadline to submit is July 30.

“As this initiative continues to grow each year, we're reminded of just how much our teachers give to their students and communities,” said Greg Powers, CEO of Beachside Hospitality Group. “We're proud to continue this tradition and hope these classroom gifts help set educators up for a successful school year.”

Participating locations per county are as follows:

• Manatee County: Sandbar Seafood & Spirits, Beach House Waterfront Restaurant, and Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub
• Osceola County: Crabby's On The Lakefront
• Pinellas County: Crabby's Bar & Grill Clearwater Beach, Crabby’s Beachside Pavilion, Crabby's Dockside Clearwater Beach, Salty's Island Bar & Grille and The Salty Crab North Beach
• St. Johns County: Crabby’s Beachside
• Volusia County: Crabby’s Oceanside and Crabby’s Bar & Grill NSB
  
  Only one entry per teacher is necessary, but teachers are encouraged to tag their colleagues and spread the word. Since its launch, the initiative has donated over $45,000 in Amazon gift cards to teachers across the state.
  
  This effort has helped over 175 educators, who often spend out of pocket to purchase much-needed supplies for their students in their classrooms. For more information on Beachside Hospitality Group, visit www.bshgrp.com.
