Shop to Support: Lilly Pulitzer Naples Partners with Freedom Waters Foundation on September 26th

Posted Sep. 8, 2026 in Fundraisers

This September, a trip to Lilly Pulitzer in Naples does more than refresh your wardrobe — it helps bring healing, empowerment, connection, and freedom to the water for the people who need it most.

On Saturday, September 26, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Lilly Pulitzer is donating 10% of event proceeds from both its Waterside Shops and Downtown Naples locations to Freedom Waters Foundation. It’s a simple way to shop with purpose — and a powerful reminder that generosity comes in many forms.

The Details

Saturday, September 26 | 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Lilly Pulitzer Waterside Shops & Downtown Naples

Shop either Naples location throughout the day, and 10% of proceeds will go directly toward Freedom Waters Foundation’s therapeutic boating programs.

Why Your Shopping Trip Matters

Freedom Waters Foundation brings healing on the water, through therapeutic boating, to children and adults with disabilities or life-threatening illnesses, veterans, and at-risk youth. Every program we offer is at no cost to participants, thanks to the generosity of donors, sponsors, and community partners like Lilly Pulitzer.

For the people we serve, time on the water isn’t recreation — it’s transformation. It’s a place where challenges are left at the dock and participants find:

Healing — the water gives back what life has taken away.

Empowerment — participants leave more confident and capable than when they arrived.

Connection — a community of participants, families, volunteers, and donors, together.

Freedom — on the water, participants are simply free.

A Shop to Support day like this one turns an everyday errand into a meaningful part of that story.

About Freedom Waters Foundation

Since 2006, Freedom Waters Foundation has delivered free, therapeutic boating experiences throughout Southwest and South Florida. In 2025 alone, our volunteers and partners made possible 6,275 water experiences for 1,343 children, 1,807 veterans, and 541 adults — all at no cost to participants. As we celebrate 20 years of service in 2026, partnerships like this one with Lilly Pulitzer help ensure the next 20 years are just as full of healing, empowerment, connection, and freedom.

How to Get Involved

Join us on September 26 at Lilly Pulitzer Waterside Shops or Downtown Naples — every purchase helps keep our programs free for the participants who rely on them. Can’t make it in person? You can still be part of the story by donating or becoming a corporate sponsor.

None of this happens alone — and none of it happens without you.
