Fantasy Fest is coming upon Key West soon and Key West is readying for a fantastic blowout celebration! 

Having fun is what Fantasy Fest is all about, however Dr. Mom (Sue Mauer, P.A.-C.) and Scott Briscoe are not just there for the festivities.  In fact, they have a bigger mission in mind and they need your help! 

Taking their Ship of Fools around town, they are making it their goal during the Fantasy Fest celebration to raise money for AIDS Help, Inc. Not only do they want to raise money, they also want to have fun!

 

Dr. Mom and Captain Scott need you to help them raise money throughout the Fantasy Fest celebration.  All donations go directly to the clients of AIDS Help, Inc.  This means that nothing you give will go to staff or administration.  It goes only to those who need financial assistance with housing, medical reasons, clothing, food, and transportation. 

 

	If you are familiar with the organization, you may already know Captain Scott Briscoe has been volunteering his time to AIDS causes since the 1990s.  He was even named Volunteer of the year in 2004 by the organization.  Not only does Captain Scott put in his time and effort to AIDS charities, he also proudly captains the Blu Q, a gay owned and operated sailing catamaran in Key West.  If you want to see the bluer side of Key West, take a ride on the Blu Q!
	Dr. Mom is a former firefighter/EMT turned physician assistant from Ohio.  She has made Key West her home for the past six years and spends hours working with cancer and AIDS patients each week.  As the founder of The North Coast Parrothead Club, she too has her hands full.

 

 

 

They will be all over Key West for the next few weeks, collecting donations and selling raffle tickets for giveaways. One of their most popular raffles is the $20 raffle for a $1000 Key West vacation for two!  

A Ship of Fools with Dr Mom and Captain Scott is sailing across Key West giving away these fantastic vacations at these ultra low prices. The deal is, you purchase a $20 raffle ticket from A Ship of Fools, and if your ticket is pulled, you get the $1000 3 day vacation in Key West.  There are no questions asked, so you don’t have to tell a soul!  You can slip away with one of your family members or friends and enjoy this wonderful vacation without stress, should you win.

The best part is that a ticket is pulled every Sunday for one of the $1000 3 day vacations!  When you win, you and a guest will enjoy a three night stay at Cypress House (room for two), Dinner for two at Café Sole, a snorkel trip for two courtesy of Sunny Days, a Trails Of Margaritaville walking tour for two, drinks for two from Schooner Wharf, and a 30 minute photography session courtesy of Conch Concierge (cost of prints not included).  The total in prizes is more than $1000 and you can be eligible for a mere $20!
