“When I moved to the islands over 20 years ago, I was drawn to its strong sense of community,” says Chuck Bergstrom, REALTOR® with RE/MAX of the Islands.  “It didn’t take long to learn about FISH OF SANCAP, an organization that exemplifies community through their neighbors helping neighbors motto, their commitment to those that live, work and visit here, and their connectedness to the needs of the islands.”  Bergstrom, a longtime supporter of FISH, is proud to sponsor their 10K Race fundraiser that supports the organization’s mission of enriching the lives of all people in Sanibel and Captiva Islands as neighbors helping neighbors with social services, education and assistance.
