On Wednesday, November 4, the owner of a St. Petersburg-based electric boat company, Nancy Frainetti, and her
sister Paula Frainetti completed a nine-day, 360-mile trip in an all-electric, solar
powered boat up the length of Florida’s Atlantic Coast in a "Voyage of Hope." The
purpose was to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer support services of The
Donna Foundation, which serves the critical needs of First Coast women living
with breast cancer within a 16-county area of Jacksonville.
Nancy Frainetti sells electric, solar powered boats at the Electric Marina in St. Petersburg. Her company was a sponsor of and exhibitor at St. Pete Drive Electric Day, and her electric boat served as the float for the Suncoast Sierra Club's entry in last June's Pride Parade on Central Ave., the location of Sierra Club's state office.
You can learn more about the Voyage of Hope here, in this news story, and on the Electric Marina's Facebook page. Contributions to The Donna Foundation may still be made through the Voyage of Hope.
