THE EVENT

Audi of Fort Myers is again teaming up with the Rotary Club of Estero as the major sponsor for the club’s annual Golf Fundraiser. Estero Rotary hopes to surpass the $22,000 in funds raised in 2022, with a goal of $25,000 for this year’s event.

Registration begins at 7 a.m. along with the opening of the practice range. The four-person scramble tournament begins with an 8:15 a.m. shotgun start. Individual entries to play are $145, which includes 18 holes of golf with paired carts at Pelican Sound Golf & River Club, breakfast and lunch, hole contests, prizes and more. Exciting raffle prizes include a man’s 14-karat gold and diamond ring valued at $1,995 from Amore Jewelers in Bonita Springs. There are many options to sponsor, but space for the event is limited, so sign up today! The deadline to register is Sept. 20.

Not able to play a round? There will be a 50/50 raffle and silent auction tickets available for purchase. Raffle tickets are available for one for $10 or three for $20. Drawings are the day of the event, but you need not be present to win. If you cannot attend the event but wish to donate, contributions may be mailed to: Estero Rotary Foundation, P.O. Box 743, Estero, FL 33929.
