Goodwill Announces Third Annual Goal Tournament

May 6, 2013 - PRLog -- Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida’s third annual golf fundraiser will be held Sunday, May 19 at Coral Oaks Golf Course in Cape Coral. Last year’s tournament successfully raised $15,000 in gross proceeds to benefit the agency’s programs and services and Goodwill is hoping to raise even more at this year’s event.

“This is such a fun way to give back to the community,” says Goodwill’s Community Relations Coordinator, Madison Mitchell. “Not only do participants get to play on a beautiful course but, the proceeds raised go right back into Southwest Florida through Goodwill’s programs and services.”

The Goodwill Golf Classic will feature a raffle, and multiple contests such as Closest to the Pin, 50/50 raffle, and a longest drive competition. If the Hole in One challenge has a winner, he/she will receive a Pebble Beach golf getaway vacation for 2, including roundtrip airfare, valued at $7,500.

The cost to play is just $60 for a single player, $240 for a 4-person team and $100 to sponsor a hole.

“It’s because of events like this one, and because of our donors and shoppers that we were able to assist over 30,000 people with disabilities and disadvantages in Southwest Florida last year,” explains Mitchell. “We wouldn’t be able to do that without the support of the community.”
