If you haven’t yet heard of Ducklings Travel, prepare to be inspired! This local nonprofit was founded in 2018 by Estero High School graduate Taylor Bouchard to help defray expenses of young surgery patients who must travel a great distance for specialized medical procedures — children like her. This exceptional organization is hosting their first golf tournament at Spring Run Golf Club on Sept. 4, 2021.

Ducklings Travel recently partnered with Golisano Children’s Hospital and has already helped six families from Southwest Florida in the past three months.

Register for the golf scramble as an individual for $150 or as a foursome for $500. Registration includes lunch provided by Spring Run Golf Club, in addition to golf and a raffle ticket. Register for the tournament by Sept. 2 at https://ducklingstravel.org/event/1st-annual-spring-run-golf-tournament/
