The Goodwill Golf Classic at Westminster Golf Club
The Goodwill Golf Classic attracted 139 golfers, who traveled from as far away as Miami to compete for prizes and raise funds for Goodwill’s (http://www.goodwillswfl.org) mission. Goodwill was pleased with both the turnout and the funds raised.
With the $8,000 raised by the tournament, Goodwill can provide assistance to up to 320 Southwest Floridians in need. That amount could provide more than 14 months of income-subsidized housing for a person with a physical disability. The same amount could provide 16 job internships for students with developmental disabilities at the Goodwill L.I.F.E. Academy charter school.
The Goodwill Golf Classic was presented with the help of more than 50 sponsors, most notably Smith and Wesson Alarm of Fort Myers, Signs in One Day of Cape Coral, the Westminster Golf Club, and the PGA Tour Superstore in Naples.
The foursome representing Aqua Systems of Fort Myers took home first place by scoring a -13 in the best-ball scramble.
