AS AN ARISTOCRAT BY BIRTH AND OFFICER IN THE SPANISH NAVY, GASPAR WAS WELL EDUCATED, POSSESSED COURTLY MANNERS, AND HAD ALL THE APPEARANCES OF A FINE GENTLEMAN. WHEN JOSE GASPAR DIED, HE SUPPOSEDLY LEFT AN UNTOLD FORTUNE IN BURIED TREASURE SOMEWHERE ALONG THE FLORIDA COAST. THOUGH THAT TREASURE HAS NEVER BEEN DISCOVERED, THE STORY OF THE SWASHBUCKLING GASPAR WAS UNEARTHED AND HIS MEMORY REVIVED IN 1904 WHEN YE MYSTIC KREWE OF GASPARILLA WAS FORMED AND ADOPTED THE PIRATE AS PATRON ROGUE OF THEIR CITY-WIDE CELEBRATION. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)INSPIRED BY THE LEGEND, THE ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO ENRICHING THE VITALITY AND IMAGINATION OF TAMPA AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. EACH YEAR THE KREWE PARTNERS WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA, U.S. COAST GUARD, AND DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO SPONSOR THE GASPARILLA INVASION AND PARADE, THE THIRD LARGEST IN THE UNITED STATES, WHICH PROVIDES ENTERTAINMENT TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE LANDFALL OF THE JOSE GASPARILLA PIRATE SHIP AND THE CHILDREN'S PARADE FIREWORKS SHOW HAVE BECOME TOURISM ICONS. WHEN NOT HOSTING THEIR ANNUAL CHILDREN'S PARADE AND PIRATE INVASION AND PARADE, THE KREWE MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY AND CHARITY EVENTS THROUGH SPECIAL APPEARANCES IN TAMPA BAY AND THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. KREWE MEMBERS, IN PIRATE ATTIRE, REGULARLY VISIT HOSPITALS, ASSISTED LIVING CENTERS, CHILDREN'S VENUES, AND SCHOOLS, ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY IN THE SPIRIT AND FUN OF GASPARILLA EVENTS. THE KREWE ALSO CARRIES ON ITS SOCIAL TRADITION WITH THE ANNUAL DEBUTANTE AND CORONATION BALLS.IN ADDITION, YMKG WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN ESTABLISHING THE INTER-KREWE COUNCIL, WHICH HAS GROWN TO INCLUDE MORE THAN 60 OTHER KREWES. EACH KREWE IS ORGANIZED FOR SPECIFIC CHARITABLE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PURPOSES. THE KREWE OWNS AND MAINTAINS THE JOSE GASPAR, A FULL-RIGGED PIRATE SHIP, AS A TOURIST ATTRACTION. IN 1911 A SHIP WAS USED FOR THE FIRST TIME BY YMKG TO CAPTURE THE CITY OF TAMPA, BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL 1937 THAT THE KREWE OWNED ITS FIRST VESSEL, THE JOSE GASPARILLA I. IN 1954, YMKG COMMISSIONED THE BUILDING OF THE WORLD'S ONLY FULLY RIGGED PIRATE SHIP, JOSE GASPARILLA II, WHICH WAS CHRISTENED DURING THE KREWE'S 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY. DURING THE YEAR, THE SHIP IS DOCKED AT THE TARPON WEIGH STATION ON BAYSHORE BOULEVARD FOR THE PUBLIC'S VIEWING PLEASURE. THE KREWE HOSTS AN ANNUAL CORONATION BALL TO RECOGNIZE THEIR INCOMING "CEREMONIAL" KING, QUEEN, AND ROYAL COURT. THIS BALL WAS HELD AT THE TAMPA CONVENTION CENTER AND WAS ATTENDED BY 1,000 YMKG MEMBERS AND ASSORTED GUESTS. THIS WAS AN INVITATION-ONLY AFFAIR THAT INCLUDED FOOD, BEVERAGES, AND LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. THIS EVENT WAS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 62 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 232450 366748 0 0 0 X 18 18 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 FL X ALMA GARZA ACCOUNTANT 8132514500 1114 W CASS ST TAMPA FL 33606 SHAMUS WARREN PRESIDENT/CAPTAIN 8.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER KETCHEY VICE PRESIDENT, CHAIRMAN 0.50 X X 0 0 0 DYLAN HENDERSON 1ST LIEUTENANT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES W GOODWIN 2ND LIEUTENANT 0.50 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER ABRUNZO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 SCOTT BOOS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 VINCENT CHILLURA DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JOHN DELAVERGNE DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 DREW A GRAHAM DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ALAN HARVILL DIRECTOR, KING 0.50 X 0 0 0 CLARKE HOBBY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER 0.50 X 0 0 0 BENJAMIN MACKIE DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ROBERT MAGS MAGEE DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 DANIEL PEREZ DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ANDREW PITTMAN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 RYAN REYNOLDS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH TAGGART DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ROBERT BURTON TUTTLE DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 CARLOS ALFONSO DIRECTOR (TERM END 04/07/2026) 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHARLES DAVIS III DIRECTOR (TERM END 04/07/2026) 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER CORAM DIRECTOR (TERM END 04/07/2026) 0.50 X 0 0 0 PETER GARDNER DIRECTOR (TERM END 04/07/2026) 0.50 X 0 0 0 T TRUETT GARDNER DIRECTOR (TERM END 04/07/2026) 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHARLES STALLINGS III DIRECTOR (TERM END 04/07/2026) 0.50 X 0 0 0 DONALD BARNES EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40.00 X 167207 0 4881 ALMA GARZA ACCOUNTANT (AS OF 05/27/2025) 25.00 X 22116 0 663 MELANIE WERNER ACCOUNTANT (THRU 06/30/2025) 25.00 X 38042 0 1141 227365 0 6685 1 0 1 0 TAMPA YACHT & COUNTRY CLUB PO BOX 13466 TAMPA FL 33681 EVENT VENUE SPACE 485733 BAY STAGE LIVE 4008 W ALVA ST TAMPA FL 33614 STAGING, LIGHTING, SOUND 278952 GULF MARINE REPAIR CORP 1800 GRANT ST TAMPA FL 33605 BARGE/SHIP REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 235263 JW MARRIOTT TAMPA WATER STREET 510 WATER STREET TAMPA FL 33602 EVENT VENUE SPACE 191424 4 MEMBERSHIP DUES 713990 3015965 3015965 EVENT FEES 713990 384699 315009 69690 PARADE SPONSOR RIGHTS 713990 286533 286533 2904 2904 3690101 97789 97789 10525 0 10525 10525 10525 130519 99106 31413 31413 ADMINISTRATIVE FEES 713990 5500 5500 5500 3835328 3370791 464537 0 10000 234931 417163 8877 49756 48823 17692 31087 17934 50290 77758 15904 51675 2971 125908 181 128031 392251 INCOME TAXES 40227 PARADE EXPENSES 938117 BALL EXPENSES 707854 PIRATE SHIP OPERATIONS 339188 165471 3872089 2935 655 3315795 3120856 26825 109918 46212 33012 150451 210697 4794194 2726843 2116241 2067351 124268 160078 5782727 5702567 42174 29652 29404 14297 12824 85875 42476 X 4557237 4628232 1139615 1031859 5696852 5660091 5782727 5702567 -36761 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 547462 547462 2653811 1359978 1293833 18000 15514 2486 1546377 1326429 219948 28544 24922 3622 2067351 LEASE LIABILITIES 12824 12824 X 3730878 128000 128000 3602878 232450 232450 3835328 4000089 128000 128000 3872089 0 3872089 PART X, LINE 2: THE KREWE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(7) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
