“Please don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of the biggest kid’s fundraiser on the island,” Gore said. “All the raffle items are donated by our awesome local businesses that support our island kids. Make sure you check out all the hole sponsor signs on the green; these are generous businesses who have donated cash to the golf tournament to help the Beach School PTO fund special events, field trips, activities, supplies, and other things that our island school kids wouldn’t have without their support.”
For any questions, donate an item or to sponsor a hole call her at 849-3603. The Beach School PTO is a 501c3 non-profit organization – all player fees, donations and sponsorships are tax deductible. Sponsorships are still available.
So, get your party hat ready Thursday and dust off your clubs for Saturday. It’s all about the kids.
Remember, the Fort Myers Beach Fireworks Fundraiser Golf Tournament will be held at the FMB Golf Course on June 11. Call Tracey Gore for registration, hole sponsor, and raffle donation or to hold a fundraiser for the fireworks!
