The Guardian ad Litem Foundation, 20th Judicial Circuit, is hosting a fundraising event Jan. 19 at Topgolf in Fort Myers to raise money for programs benefiting children and teens in foster care.

Golfing Fore a Great Cause features an evening of golf, entertainment, prizes and a dinner buffet.

Topgolf offers a dynamic, technology-driven golf entertainment experience and features high-tech gaming, outdoor hitting bays, chef-driven menus, hand-crafted cocktails, music and more.

“Golfing Fore a Great Cause was postponed because of Hurricane Ian, so this will be a great opportunity to enjoy an evening of casual golf at one of Southwest Florida’s hottest social venues while supporting a good cause – children and teens in foster care,” said Jessica Stanfield, the foundation’s executive director, in a prepared statement. “We had to cancel other fundraising events after the storm, so the Topgolf event is incredibly important in helping us accomplish our mission.”

Golfing Fore a Great Cause starts at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19 at Topgolf, 2021 Top Golf Way in Fort Myers. The registration fee is $500 for a six-player bay or $100 for an individual player; single players will be paired with others in a six-player bay. Sponsorship opportunities also are available.

Proceeds support the Guardian ad Litem Foundation, which has a mission of ensuring that every abused, neglected or abandoned youth in Southwest Florida has a voice as they navigate the judicial, education and child welfare systems. The foundation recruits, trains and provides support for court-appointed volunteer child advocates who represent the best interests of a child until a safe, permanent placement is established. The nonprofit also raises funds that help meet a child’s health, educational and social needs.
