Sean Mulligan is no stranger to community support and giving back. From the moment he became the owner of the Big Frog Custom T-Shirts & More location in St. Petersburg, he\u2019s been helping out other small businesses and non-profits in St. Pete\u2019s revitalized EDGE neighborhood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

St. Pete Small Business Owner<\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a big fan of St. Pete,\u201d said Sean. \u201cI lived here for years but, because of my previous job, I never really was able to really get involved locally\u2026all my business was in other states. As soon as I jumped into Big Frog about four years ago, we\u2019ve been pushing to buy local, stay local, and support local.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sean\u2019s Big Frog shop sponsors the summer camp t-shirts for Creative Clay, a St. Pete non-profit located in the EDGE that offers art classes for people with mental challenges to learn sculpture, painting and other types of visual art then sell their creations. Every summer, camp students create doodles and sign them, thus personalizing a t-shirt for each week\u2019s campers. Sean creates and donates up to 200 t-shirts to Creative Clay each summer.<\/p>\n

Another non-profit he supports on an ongoing basis is LiFT Academy, a school that helps children on the autism spectrum discover their innate gifts and talents. Big Frog supplies t-shirts and polos for LiFT\u2019s uniforms and Sean set up an online store for parents to conveniently purchase apparel with any profit going right back to LiFT.<\/p>\n

Shop Local All the Way<\/h2>\n

As witnessed by these and other strong community outreach, Sean is definitely all on board with the just-launched initiative Shop Local All the Way<\/a>, a system-wide campaign Big Frog recently began to promote small businesses nationwide. It will run through April 2022. The idea is to support neighbor businesses in individual Big Frog communities \u2013 like St. Pete \u2013 by offering discounts, visibility on social media channels, and opportunities to win Big Frog swag and gear. With Big Frog leading the way, \u201call boats rise with the tide\u201d and people are encouraged to \u201cshop local\u201d in their small town neighborhoods like St. Pete. It\u2019s easy to participate and anyone can nominate a small business by visiting Big Frog in person or placing a nomination at BIGFROG.COM\/SHOP-LOCAL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019Shop Local\u2019 is something I can sure get behind since I\u2019m pretty vested in the Edge,\u201d said Sean, who is not only local Big Frog owner, but is also president of the EDGE Business District Association. \u201cWe are committed to attracting great small businesses to continue to revitalize downtown and keep making it a vibrant, local scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EDGE Business District Association<\/a> is an \u201caward-winning Florida Main Street and Main Street America\u2122 that plans, promotes, and advocates to sustain an eclectic, vibrant EDGE District community while preserving its unique character.\u201d Sean says it\u2019s a collaborative effort of all the local businesses that work together to steer everything from new development, historic continuity, parking, and even coordinating holiday events.<\/p>\n

Big Frog is located in The EDGE at 1018 Central Avenue, St. Petersburg, FL 33705 and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Closed Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
