Casey DeSantis Announces New Tumbler to Raise Money for Hurricane Relief

VENICE (FLV) – First Lady Casey DeSantis announced Friday a partnership with Tervis to launch a new tumbler that would help raise money for the Florida Disaster Fund.

All proceeds from each tumbler will go to the Florida Disaster Fund. The fund was established to provide financial assistance to our communities as they respond to and recover from times of emergency or disaster. So far nearly $40 million has been raised for the fund within one week.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Tervis to support the Florida Disaster Fund and help Floridians in need. This partnership is uniquely special because as Tervis rebuilds its own team in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, they’re also helping other Floridians recover – such kindness is what Florida is all about,” DeSantis said.

The First Lady, Volunteer Florida and Tervis created the design for the new tumbler product, which will be available soon for purchase.

“As the cameras go away and things start to fade from view, just know that we are committed to helping you for the long run. We will be with you every step of the way to ensure that you get back on your feet,” DeSantis said.

The family-owned company is headquartered in North Venice, Florida.

“Witnessing the aftermath of Hurricane Ian has been devastating to the Tervis family, as it has greatly impacted us all,” said Tervis President & CEO Rogan Donelly. “But what has truly been inspiring is seeing how this hardship has united an entire region. People helping others out in any way they can, even if they themselves have experienced loss, is admirable. That is what motivated us to launch an initiative to raise funds for the recovery efforts for all Floridians.”
