Island golf tourney to benefit United Way programs
The Sanibel Captiva United Way Committee will present the Inaugural Sanibel Captiva United Way Golf Tournament — Scramble on Jan. 26 at 7 a.m. at the Sanibel Island Golf Club on Sanibel.
The proceeds will support United Way-funded programs through local and countywide agencies.
“This golf tournament is going to be more than just a day of fun on the greens. It’s an opportunity for our community to come together and contribute to a cause that directly impacts families, seniors and individuals throughout our region,” committee Chair Tony Lapi said. “Every dollar raised goes toward supporting agencies that provide essential services like food assistance, mental health resources and education programs.”
Players will enjoy a day filled with camaraderie, friendly competition and a shared commitment to giving back. The tourney will also feature a lineup of activities, including contests, raffles and prizes.
In addition to the tournament, the committee hosts other events and initiatives throughout the year. Every activity helps to underscore its commitment to fostering a culture of giving on the islands and in Lee County. The proceeds are distributed to a network of nonprofits that provide services, including disaster recovery, youth development, healthcare access, and support for underserved populations.
“It’s incredible to see the impact our community can make when we come together,” committee Member Bill Fellows said. “Whether it’s through participating in our golf tournament, volunteering or simply spreading the word, every contribution helps us build a stronger, more resilient community.”
