Come join us at the 2024 Fall Pinehurst and San Sebastian Cemeteries Cleanup on Saturday, October 19th, from 8 am - 12 noon.
There'll be a special headstone reveal ceremony to thank everyone who helped donate to save the lost graves.
We will honor those who came before us by cleaning up around the individual graves and cleaning headstones in two of the oldest African American cemeteries in Florida.
❤️ Please help us spread the word about this cleanup event so we can make a bigger difference at the historic cemeteries. Even if you cannot attend, sharing this flyer is a great help.

☆ We will be cleaning up around the individual graves.

☆ If possible, please bring gloves, gardening tools such as clippers, cutters, weed trimmers, rakes, etc.
