BUNNELL – The Keep Rick Staly Our Sheriff Campaign announces that it has donated $100,000 dollars of left-over campaign funds to the Flagler Sheriff’s Employees Assistance Trust (F.S.E.A.T.). The money was donated to FSEAT during a re-election celebration on July 30th at Loopers Par & Grille. More than 150 campaign supporters and donors attended.
Florida law strictly regulates how candidates must dispose of remaining campaign contributions and donating to a 501(C)(3) organization is one of the authorized ways. FSEAT is a 501(C)(3) organization and was established by Sheriff Rick Staly in 2017 to support the men and women of the Flagler County Sheriff’s
Office during an unexpected personal emergency, unexpected serious medical event or in the event a Deputy Sheriff is seriously injured or killed in the line of duty. FSEAT holds an annual Sheriff’s Gala as its only fundraiser. The Sheriff’s Gala was postponed in 2024 and will now be held on February 1, 2025.
“I know my supporters that contributed to my re-election campaign also support the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “Each campaign contributor received a personal letter from me indicating that 92% of their contribution would be donated in their name to FSEAT. The other 8% was spent on campaign expenses. I want to thank everyone that donated to my campaign and for always supporting our employees. With the 2024 Sheriff’s Gala postponed until 2025, I know this contribution will make a difference.”
The next Sheriff’s Gala will be held on February 1, 2025 @ 6:00pm at the Club at Hammock Beach. Visit www.fseat.org to learn more about FSEAT or make a tax-deductible donation. Details on the 2025 Sheriff’s Gala will be coming soon.
