The World Famous Cigar Bar is hosting a charity golf tournament on Sunday, Oct. 26 at Stoneybrook Golf Club in Estero. The event will benefit Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to families and children.
Lunch and registration will take place at 11 a.m., followed by a tee time of 1 p.m. Participants can plan to enjoy a day of golfing and giving back, followed by an exclusive after-party at The World Famous Cigar Bar featuring a silent auction, premium imported cigars, spirits and a catered dinner.
Individual players can purchase a ticket for $150, and tickets for teams of four are available for $500. Mulligans and raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the golf course. Lunch will be provided at registration and dinner at the tournament after-party.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Better Together’s mission of keeping families together.
Better Together works to prevent the need for foster care by building strong families and communities. When a parent needs support – due to homelessness, a medical emergency, or other crisis – Better Together volunteer host families provide a safe, loving home for the children short term, while staff and mentors empower the parents to secure employment, housing and other needs. Because job loss is at the root of most family crises, the Better Together workforce program provides opportunities for all job seekers through relational job fairs and volunteer job coaches.
To date, Better Together has served more than 12,000 children, and 98% of children served through mentoring and hosting remain out of foster care. The nonprofit has also connected more than 40,000 job seekers to employment opportunities through church-based job fairs across 24 states.
“We are so excited to partner with The World Famous Cigar Bar again,” said Megan Rose, CEO of Better Together. “Our goal is to strengthen families and communities so we can bring an end to the foster care crisis. Together, with support from the Southwest Florida community, we can create lasting change for future generations.”
There are three sponsorship levels available, including Platinum ($5,000), Gold ($2,500) and Silver ($1,500). Additional sponsorship opportunities include Beverage Cart Sponsors ($1,000), Lunch Sponsor ($1,000), Dinner Sponsor ($1,000), Hole in One Sponsor ($350), Closest to the Pin Sponsor ($250), Longest Drive Sponsor ($250) and Hole Sponsors ($150).
The Oct. 26 golf tournament will be held at Stoneybrook Golf Club, located at 21251 Stoneybrook Golf Blvd. in Estero. The after-party will be held at The World Famous Cigar Bar, located at 10045 Gulf Center Drive, E-115, within Gulf Coast Town Center in Fort Myers.
