Lighthouse Climb to Benefit Food Pantry

Climb the Cape St. George Lighthouse on the Friday after Christmas, and you will help feed the
hungry in Franklin County.

The St. George Lighthouse Association has announced that all climbing revenues received on
Friday, December 28, will be donated to the Franklin County Food Pantry. This will include
daytime climbing revenues, as well as revenues from the Full Moon Climb, which will be held on
the evening of the 28th.

“The Cape St. George Light has long been a beacon of hope for people in Franklin County,” said
SGLA President Dennis Barnell. “During this holiday season, we think that it is important for
the lighthouse to continue to give hope to community residents,” he said, “especially at a time
when people who depend on our waters for their livelihood are faced with difficulties beyond
their control.”

The lighthouse will be open for climbing from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on December 28. Climbing fees
are $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for youth age 16 or younger. Children who are six years old or
younger can climb at no charge. And, as always, there is no charge for St. George Lighthouse
Association members and active members of the U.S. military with a current ID. SGLA also
has reciprocal arrangements with the Florida Lighthouse Association and the St. Augustine
Lighthouse, allowing members of those organizations to climb at no charge. Climbers must be
at least 40 inches tall.

The Sunset / Full Moon Climb on December 28 will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and includes
light snacks and a sparkling cider toast to the full moon. The sun sets at 5:49 p.m. and the
moon rises at 6:21 p.m. on December 28. Cost for the Full Moon Climb is $15.00 for the
general public and $10.00 for SGLA members. After sunset, additional climbers can view
the full moon for $10.00 or $5.00 for SGLA members, as time and space permit. Advance
reservations for the Full Moon Climb can be made by calling the Lighthouse Gift Shop at 850-
927-7745.

So visit the Cape St. George Lighthouse on St. George Island on December 28 and join in the
spirit of helping others during this holiday season!
