​

The University of Florida Alumni Association has designated Saturday, May 16, 2026, as International Gator Day, a day in which Gator Clubs® and Affiliate Groups around the world unite to utilize the size and spirit of the Gator Nation® to positively impact local communities.  Gators will join together to support projects and programs within their local communities, using their time and talents to serve others.

 

The Manatee County Gator Club is proud to participate in another wonderful community engagement project for International Gator Day.  This year's project will be a partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Manatee County at their Desoto Club location. Don't miss this chance to help our kids have a place they can learn and grow.  We will be helping beautify the grounds so work gloves are recommended.
