Save the date! Come join us at the 2025 Fall Pinehurst and San Sebastian Cemeteries Cleanup on Saturday, October 11th, from 8 am - 12 noon.
We will honor those who came before us by cleaning up around the individual graves and cleaning headstones in two of the oldest African American cemeteries in Florida.

☆ We will be cleaning up around the individual graves.
☆ We will be cleaning headstones with a special solution.

☆ If possible, please bring gloves, gardening tools such as clippers, cutters, weed trimmers, rakes, etc.
