It’s the first of September and the postal service just may make its goal thanks to all the invitations that are flying in. While most folks think of the fall season as luncheons, dinners, fashion shows and other very proper events for fundraising, many find golf courses as the place to support nonprofits. Here are two that are celebrating their third anniversary for the good of children:
Monday, September 19 at Lantana Golf Club — The SBB Management Company 3rd Annual Golf Classic will benefit Children’s Cancer Fund. The format is a four-person scramble with a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m. As you might recall, Fred Shapiro has been a driving force for the tournament. And you just never know who will be part of your team. For instance, former MLB player Al Oliver is scheduled to be on the course. Immediately following the tournament, a dinner will be held with a silent auction.
It’s a great event that was “conceived a few years ago as a way for SBB to thank its homeowners association clients, involve its vendors and business partners and donate money to a great charity.” The past two tournaments have raised $84,000 for CCF.
Friday, September 30 at Coyote Ridge Golf Club — The 3rd Annual Friends of deVille Golf Tournament presented by Surgical Associates of North Texas along with GEICO and Dr. and Mrs. Allan deVilleneuve will benefit Hope Cottage. Hope Cottage graduates Dr. Scott and Todd deVilleneuve have put this one together.
The talented folks at Hope Cottage have put together ten reasons why you want to play in the 3rd Annual Friends of deVille Golf. Fashionistas will love #7 and #3.
