Bank of the Islands Returns as Rotary Festival Silver Sponsor
Bank of the Islands is proud to return as a Silver Sponsor for the 2025 Rotary Arts and Crafts Festival. Produced by the Rotary Club of Sanibel-Captiva, the two-day festival will feature
more than 100 exhibiting artists on February 15 and 16 at the Sanibel Community House.
“Especially with Rotarians among our banking staff, we are happy to be supporting this highly anticipated festival,” said Bank of the Islands President Robbie Roepstorff. “Last year, the funds raised throughout the weekend supported 21 separate nonprofit initiatives and academic scholarships on Sanibel and Captiva and around the world. The San-Cap Rotarians are a special group of volunteers who have mastered the art of combining meaningful charitable endeavors with fun community gatherings. It’s a pleasure to help bring this special event back to Sanibel. We hope to see island residents and visitors alike come out for a good time benefiting a good cause!”
Over the course of the weekend, approximately 8,000 attendees are expected to shop for collectibles while enjoying food and beverages on sale at the Community House. There will also be a silent auction featuring gift certificates for island restaurants and accommodations and a variety of items including a special gift basket donated by Bank of the Islands.
