Need a last-minute gift for the lady who has everything?
Lesley and Fletcher Isacks have the perfect gift option for you — and it benefits two worthy causes.
The Isacks unveiled The Sportsmen of South Walton calendar last week, which will benefit Alaqua Animal Refuge and One Love Worldwide.
The sportsmen depicted in the calendar are all young, local buff outdoorsmen, who are not bad on the eyes. Half were photographed shirtless, doing the activity they love, whether surfing or bow hunting.
"We wanted to choose men who contribute to the community by volunteering," said Lesley Isacks. "And we wanted it to be a tasteful thing, and use it to raise money for good causes. I feel that the men we chose are good examples in our community."
Isacks and her husband, Fletcher, have lived in South Walton for nine years, after relocating from New Orleans. They made the move following the death of Fletcher's dad 10 years ago and moved into the home he built in the 1970s.
"Nola had a lot of crime and we thought this would be a good place to start over and raise a family," said Lesley.
The Isacks own and operate a production company — Isacks Imagery — and Lesley is a professional photographer. They were involved in producing the Calendar Girls of 30A calendar event three years ago and two of those calendar girls are Fletcher's relatives.
"When we wanted to do a fundraiser or something to help two of our favorite charities, they (the calendar girls) told us we should do a calendar with men. We thought it was a good idea," said Lesley.
"What we love about this community is it gives back and we like to get involved with different charities. Alaqua means a lot to us as pet owners, and One Love is trying to do something on a large scale. We thought this calendar event would be a good way to help jump start them and teach our kids to give back," she said.
Lesley said they try to teach their four kids to give back 10 fold for everything they receive.
"If you have something to offer in the form of a talent, use it to give back," she said.
One Love Worldwide provides clothing and sports equipment for kids all over the world to give underprivileged children an opportunity to do something positive. The organization was started by Cameron Benke, Mr. June.
Calendars are available at Modica Market in Seaside, at the YOLO board warehouse on County Road 393N, White Lights Studio, the Red Bar, Pandora's Steak House, Louis Louis, Balance Studio in Seagrove, Seagrove Village Market, and Sundog Books in Seaside for $20.
