"Support from Townies enables us to have a successful soccer season and

provide much needed gear to our players," said Pete Kovalick, FBHS Boys’

Soccer coach. "We’re thankful we have a locally-owned restaurant that cares

about our community!"

The FBHS Boys’ Soccer team are three-time Boys’ Soccer District Champions.

As public schools continue to face tight budgets for their athletic

programs, financial support from the community is crucial in keeping these

programs running.

“We’re proud to support our local schools’ athletic programs and their

mission to teach sportsmanship and keep kids active,” said Matt Klabacka,

owner of Townies Pizzeria. “The Fernandina Beach High School Boys’ Soccer

team is very successful, we enjoy watching them play and help contribute to

their success.”

Townies is dedicated to supporting local arts, education, sports,

environmental programs, military veterans and first responders throughout

the Fernandina Beach community by giving financial support as well as in

kind donations. Townies Pizzeria is celebrating its most successful year in

business since its founding, as it is among the top 10 percent of American

pizzerias.
