🏛️ Heritage Handler Released on Bail! 🕊️

Our very own Lynn Geist, President of Palm Harbor Museum, has been “freed” after being charged with Conspiracy to Preserve the Past! Thanks to everyone who donated to help her make bail at the Wheelchairs 4 Kids Jail & Bail fundraiser.

Lynn was proud to represent the Museum in our community, bringing our mission of preservation, accessibility, and local history to an event that supports mobility equipment for children in need. It was a joyful reminder that caring for our past and caring for our neighbors go hand in hand.

The event at Eddie V’s Prime Seafood in Tampa was full of laughter, good natured “criminals,” and heartfelt generosity. Learn more about this creative court of kindness and meet the other “felons” here: 👉 https://wheelchairs4kids.org/events/meetthefelons2026/

Thank you for supporting both heritage and heart! 💙
