Crocs Sunset Sports Bar is determined to bring Christmas joy to the most in need in San Pedro Town for the second time. The goal is to successfully fundraise and deliver on December 22nd 1,000 plates of food, essentials (pantry bags), and toys to less fortunate children.
The fundraising includes the participation of several businesses, where scheduled events will offer the opportunity to contribute towards the cause. On Tuesday, October 26th, fundraising kicked off at Crocs Sunset Sports Bar and will continue at other participating establishments. The organizer and proprietor of Crocs, Yener Ivan Luna, said that the response was excellent. He explained that funds would be raised via 50/50 raffles, raffles, and silent auctions. Patrons are encouraged to support this project and can do so by visiting the other participating establishments. Special events will feature live entertainment and guest appearances.

This initiative was born due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. San Pedro was struck with thousands of residents losing their jobs. Luna and other partners held the first fundraising of its kind and delivered over 500 meals, toys, and pantry gift bags to islanders in need on December 20, 2020. Distribution took place in several areas around town, with the central hub of activity being at Crocs.
