About Us

Beyond Ourselves is the community service organization of the Punta Gorda Isles Civic Association (PGICA).
Click here to learn more about what we do.

We meet on the third Wednesday of the month, September through May, at 10:00 AM at the PGICA building
located at 2001 Shreve Street in Punta Gorda. Visitors are always welcome to attend. Click here to learn
about becoming a member.

In March 2012, a group of caring residents of Punta Gorda Isles decided to form an organization with their goal:
to serve others in the community. This marked the beginning of Beyond Ourselves.

Our Three Missions:

Mission 1: Helping the children’s charities of Charlotte County

Mission 2: Aiding the homeless of Charlotte County

Mission 3: Protecting the wildlife of Charlotte County

Our two largest annual fundraising events are the Beyond Ourselves Bash (BOB) and the
Share the Love for the Kids Home Tour. We also coordinate a variety of ongoing activities in an effort to
support our missions.

News from our May Regular Monthly Meeting

The Heat Is On! As summer begins, the Beyond Ourselves Bash (BOB) Committee is fired up about its planning meetings. No vacation for this group as they prepare for the BOB and solicit sponsors for the event. The BOB is an annual dinner dance with live music, an auction, and wine pull that benefits the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition (CCHC) and the Peace River Wildlife Center (PRWC). The 2023 BOB raised a record-breaking $35,000 for these charities. The next BOB is scheduled for November 6, 2024 at the Isles Yacht Club with this year’s event theme—Cork and Vine. Raise a glass to the BOB volunteers for their hard work on this important fund-raiser!
