It all began on December 19, 2020<\/strong> \u2014 the worst possible date for an event: five days before Christmas and in the middle of a pandemic. Despite that, we set out to break the beach cleanup mileage record<\/strong> of 16 miles while collecting toys for children in local hospitals.<\/p>\n

Our plan was simple: divide 110 miles of coastline from Hobe Sound to Virginia Key into half-mile sections. Volunteers picked their areas and cleaned southward. We hoped to reach 17 consecutive miles \u2014 but the results far exceeded expectations.<\/p>\n

We ended up cleaning 25 consecutive miles<\/strong>, covering over 43 total miles<\/strong>, and collecting 100 toys<\/strong>. That day proved people want<\/em> to help \u2014 they just need a way to start. That\u2019s when our motto was born: \u201cBe The Spark.\u201d<\/strong> Together, we continue to spark change for beaches and communities everywhere.<\/p>\n

Today, the Better Days Foundation<\/strong> hosts more than 40 free community events each year<\/strong>, supporting small businesses and offering engaging programs like wellness activations and family \u201cParent and Me\u201d meetups.<\/p>\n

Garret\u2019s newest initiative, Wheels of Change<\/strong>, transforms used cars into opportunities to impact lives and communities. His first Tour for Change<\/strong> was an incredible 1,800-mile journey across Florida, completing seven charitable acts with seven foundations in seven cities over seven days \u2014 raising awareness and support for organizations such as The Ronald McDonald House<\/strong>, Big Brothers Big Sisters<\/strong>, and The United Way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
