Registration for the Never Quit Never Beach Fest starts at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 5, on the Jacksonville Beach Pier, when complimentary pre-race sustenance is distributed. Just prior to the 8 a.m. 5K run, the U.S. Special Operations Command Parachute Team will perform a dazzling pre-race show, and the U.S. Navy quartet will perform the national anthem. Once the 5K begins, you'll be free to run or walk along the expansive beach at low tide as the sun ascends in the sky over the Atlantic. Water stations are available along the way to soothe parched participants, and a complimentary T-shirt and one drink ticket to the event's after party are included. Be sure to register by June 1.
As a child, Courtney Whitehurst kicked off her camera career in front of the lens as her mother took countless photos. Today, with a decade of experience, the skilled and friendly photographer captures and preserves moments within mantel-worthy kodachromes taken on location. The skilled shutterbug tailors each shoot by incorporating personal items, such as baby's first bottle rocket, or suggesting themes to help subjects ease into their memory-making session. Whitehurst spends at least five hours meticulously editing all photos from a shoot and places no limits on the amount of frames she snaps. She feels passionately about giving back to her community, and when she's not crafting crisp, personal images, she's volunteering with a number of local nonprofits.

Liberty Tax Service also benefits community members outside of the office by sponsoring Relay for Life, a race benefitting the American Cancer Society, and by collecting unwanted cell phones and sending them to soldiers overseas.
