Beyond Ourselves volunteers organized and held our annual Fall fundraising event in support of two of our mission pillars: aiding the homeless of Charlotte County and protecting the wildlife of Charlotte County.
Saturday, October 17 was a spectacular day—the rain held off, the planning team was excited to host, and the golfers came ready to play—making Chip In For Charity, our inaugural golf event, a wonderful success. Participants all received a fabulously loaded swag bag, and had the opportunity to participate in fun contests, including longest drive and closest to the pin. Tickets were available for purchase for a 50/25/25 raffle, with this year’s two winning tickets splitting a cash prize of $460. Tickets were also available for a chance to win 35 donated raffle prizes, with a combined value of over $4,200. Congratulations to all our winners.
Best of all, we’re proud to announce that Chip In For Charity raised $20,000 for our two beneficiary charities, the Peace River Wildlife Center and the Charlotte CARE Center. The planning team is very grateful to our sponsors, donors and golfers. We also thank our partners at St. Andrew’s South Golf Club for their cooperation and support. We truly appreciate the time and energy of the many volunteers who contributed to the success of this golf event.
