Team Owners Who Will Join Our 2026 Winner’s Circle
Our Monroe County Schools girls flag football program began in 2009 with the support of then–School Superintendent Randy Acevedo. Today, in 2026, the program continues to grow stronger with the continued support of Monroe County Schools and current Superintendent Theresa Axford.
Since its early beginnings in 1999, the girls’ division has grown exponentially, and the IWFFA was no longer able to financially support all the girls’ teams. This led to the creation of the “Team Owner” program, which opened the doors for every girl in the Florida Keys to play flag football for free. Through this initiative, all Monroe County schools were given the opportunity to enter a girls’ team to represent their school in the Kelly McGillis Classic, at no cost to the school or the players’ parents.
This has been a wonderful opportunity to support the schools, the families, and to help develop outstanding young female athletes. This year, schools from Key West to Key Largo will once again compete in the tournament.
Each fall season, the IWFFA contacts local schools to ask if they would like to participate in the girls’ flag football program. We visit the schools, introduce the sport to the girls, and help form each school’s team. We continue coaching the girls and juniors to prepare them for the Kelly McGillis Classic, promoting high-quality flag football and teaching our young athletes the game, strategy, and mechanics.
For us, winning is not the focus; instead, we emphasize camaraderie, understanding the game, overcoming challenges on the field, building leadership, and having fun. It is a truly meaningful and rewarding program.
Special thanks to our Team Owners
To sustain the school flag football program, we sought out “Team Owners” who would financially support and become directly involved with their teams. We are deeply grateful to each group and business —many of them local, family-run establishments— who care about the girls and want to see them grow, succeed, and proudly represent their schools.
In 2026, each business will be officially welcomed into our Winner’s Circle during the girls’ awards ceremony. Their nameplates will be displayed in our Monroe County Schools as a permanent recognition of their invaluable support.

Blue Heaven
Owner since 2010
On September 19, 1992 Suanne the artist and Richard the writer cooked and served black beans, rice, and fish to their first lunch customers on the painted picnic tables under the tropical almond tree of their fine out- door dining area. Before then, through the years, the property has hosted cock fighting, gambling and Friday night boxing matches refereed by Ernest Hemingway. A dance hall, a bordello and a playhouse have occupied the second floor. Today inside the Bordello Gallery above the restaurant, one can still peek through the sliding peep holes into the tiny rooms.
The restaurant has grown, just as the history and stories of the property itself, and has turned into one of the most fun, delicious and popular places to dine. Blue Heaven contributes and supports the community heavily over the years.And their owners are active citizens to better conditions for all.

Key West Sunrise Rotary in the Conch Republic.
Team Owner since 2011.
Their financial support for so many causes has made the Sunrise Rotary an integral part of our Keys community.
Key West Sunrise Rotary Club in the Conch Republic was started in 1988. Local Rotarians felt that it was important that Key West have a Rotary Club that welcomed women members, so a group of individuals got together and chartered a new club. The first President was Roy Anderson, who later was elected District Governor for Rotary District 6990. Charter members were: Steve Hen- son, Kim Works, Rich Welter, Percy Curry, Sparky Carbonell, and Mike Horne. Thank you to this amazing group for recognizing that “Service Above Self” includes everyone both men and women!

Howe Orthodontics
Team Owner.
Dr. Seanica Howe Received her doctorate of dental surgery degree from the University of Missouri in Kansas City in 2000.
She graduated with honors and was recognized for her academic excellence via membership in the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon national dental honor society.
While still attending dental school, she also held a teaching position in cell and molecular biology for incoming dental students and was a clinical teaching fellow at UMKC upon graduation.
The following year, she entered her orthodontic residency at Nova Southeastern University and completed her certification in 2003. Prior to establishing Howe Orthodontics in Keu West, Dr. Howe owned, designed, and directed orthodontic practices in her home state of Missouri as well as in South Florida. Her love for esthetics and the art of orthodontics comes naturally and extends into her other interests as well.
While still maintaining an orthodontic practice in Miami, she trained in the fine arts at the Miami Art Institute where her early designs and drawings were recognized and displayed. In 2012, she received a master’s degree in modern and contemporary art from the prestigious Christie’s auction house in New York Citu. Dr. Howe has also worked as a freelance art writer and her series of articles based on the Art Basel fair in Basel, Switzerland, were published by the Miami New Times. She completed her first book, published by The Unbound Press, in 2021.
Dr. Howe’s combination of training and talents in both the sciences and the arts are what make her an exceptional orthodontist, one whose eye for esthetics is reflected in the thousands of gorgeous smiles she has created over the course of her career.
However, it’s her compassion and commitment to her patients that makes her who she is…a woman committed to community, excellence, and purpose.
