Siesta Gladiator Charity Challenge

24-year old David Rizzo is fighting Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. On April 14-15 you can help him fight back.

The Siesta Gladiator Charity Challenge is all about Rizzo. To raise money for his increasing medical bills and treatment expenses Siesta Key Oyster Bar (SKOB) will hold
jousting matches throughout the Siesta Fiesta weekend.

The donations and support are what Rizzo needs but the fun part will be how he is going to get it. With an 18 square foot inflatable jousting ring participants will donate money, jump into the ring and attempt to knock one of the SKOB employees off their podium using pugel sticks.
Willing participants can also purchase both podiums and joust each other!

beer garden.
