Good morning, Jupiter.

Philanthropy Tank is giving high school students in Palm Beach County the chance to pitch ideas to investors that address community problems.

CEO Amy Brand said the program offers ideation workshops and application help in August - former finalist Enan Khan shared that his nonprofit Tech Ease has helped 500 seniors in seven retirement communities.

Michael Reich was bitten by a shark while spearfishing in the Bahamas on July 15 and Jeffery Joel was bitten near Jupiter Inlet on July 19 (both received treatment at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach) and shared their survival stories on July 23 as experts said most shark bites happen from mistaken identity.

Since its kickoff in 2023, Place of Hope partnered with Crime Stoppers to fight human trafficking and expanded statewide in January as law enforcement began investigating increased tips—resources like affordable transitional housing now aid survivors and prompt community vigilance.

Florida’s Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday begins today and runs through August 31 — shoppers can buy tax-free items such as clothing (up to $100), school supplies (up to $50), and personal computers (up to $1,500) for noncommercial use, with remote and online orders also qualifying. This measure gives families a month to manage back-to-school expenses without added sales tax.

Jimmy Buffett’s widow, Jane Buffett, filed an urgent motion in Palm Beach County on July 28 to block co-trustee Richard Mozenter from moving assets from the $275M Marital Trust.

The filing alleges that Mozenter is creating a new trust (cutting her out) and seeks a special fiduciary (appointed by the court) to manage the trust until the dispute is resolved.

Starting today, Florida residents can buy hurricane supplies such as batteries, portable generators and bicycle helmets without paying sales tax as Governor DeSantis signed a new budget that permanently exempts these items—this replaces the previous two-week tax holiday and comes ahead of an active hurricane season.
