Tarpon Tiki Bar Rallies Community Support for 6-Year-Old Cancer Patient

TARPON SPRINGS, FL – The Tarpon Springs community is rallying together this Saturday, February 8th, at local favorite Hidden Anchor Tiki Bar & Grill to support one of their youngest community members. A special benefit event, “Hope for Harper,” will raise funds for Harper, a brave six-year-old first-grader recently diagnosed with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS).

Harper, the granddaughter of Hidden Anchor’s owners, faces a challenging road ahead with 42 weeks of chemotherapy and two rounds of radiation treatment. In response, the local establishment is hosting a four-hour fundraising event that promises to combine family entertainment with community solidarity.

From 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, the venue will feature special appearances by beloved princess characters, Rapunzel, Belle, and Elsa, offering young attendees magical moments between 12:30 and 3:30. The event will also include multiple opportunities for community members to contribute, including a 50/50 raffle with the drawing held at 4 PM, and themed basket raffles, with tickets starting at $5.

“This event really shows what community means in Tarpon Springs,” says the Facebook Event, . “100% of all raffle proceeds and 20% percent of food and drink sales will go directly toward Harper’s medical treatments.”

The 50/50 raffle pot has already reached an impressive $2,070, and the selection of raffle basket prizes includes:

  • Signed BEACH BOYS guitar
  • 4 LEGOLAND tickets for family adventure
  • 2-night stay in a Crystal Beach Airbnb
  • 2 cabins on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail (each sleeps 2 for 2 nights)
  • Phillies tickets
  • Round of golf for 4 at The Landings (includes accessories package)
  • LaDeeDa Kids Spa Birthday package (for 8 kids)
  • Date night basket ($300 value)
  • Valentine’s Day basket
  • Premium booze basket
  • Dance lessons
  • Boutique shopping
  • Tampa Bay Spine services
  • Cruz by Design services
  • Various other local business certificates

The benefit has already garnered attention on social media under the hashtag #thebraveboogie, with organizers encouraging attendees to share their support online. For those unable to attend in person, donations can be made through GoFundMe or Venmo (@hatbag). Early participation in the 50/50 raffle is available now through Venmo.

Please share so we can get as many people as we can out on Saturday, Feb 8th to support Harper!
