​With the generous support of our corporate sponsors, the State Society of Florida has been able to host quality events throughout the years -- Stone Crab Stomp, Cheeseburger in Paradise, Florabama, and our annual holiday party.  We also participate in the annual Cherry Blossom Celebration and sponsor the Orange Crush softball team that is open for all SSF members.
