#MEAT4MIKE
May 24, 2019
First annual #meat4mike took place on May 24, 2019. In commemoration of Mike Semkus, a former Sagg Main Lifeguard Lieutenant, who passed away due to respiratory failure caused by overdosing on prescription pain medication. #meat4mike is an event calling anyone and everyone to get active each year on May 24th to Raise Awareness Against Opioid Abuse. Get out and run, swim, bike, paddle, surf, play volleyball, get a set of pushups, pull ups, sit ups, dips, ect. and post to social media with the hashtag #meat4mike to Raise Awareness. Headquartered at Sagg Main Beach this year, many local lifeguards, surf instructors, friends of Mike Semkus and visiting beach patrons took place in a workout held on Sagg Main deck for this event.
