As part of its continuing community outreach efforts, the Red Sox Foundation will hold its 9th annual Swings for the Sox golf tournament Friday, Oct. 2 at the Tiburn Golf Club, at 2620 Tiburn Drive in Naples.

A scramble format with prizes for the longest drive, putting, closest to the pin and more will begin at 8:30 a.m. after registration at 7:15 a.m. Lunch will be provided.

All proceeds from this year’s tournament will benefit the Lee County Red Sox Scholarship program. Each year, the Red Sox Foundation awards a $5,000 college scholarship to one deserving student from each of the 14 public high schools in Lee County.

Last year’s efforts raised $88,335.98. In the past eight years, the Red Sox Foundation has raised more than $411,335 for local nonprofits and scholarships.

This year’s title sponsor is DLD Builders.

Tournament sponsorships are available from $150 to $5,000. Foursome player packages begin at $1,000. If the tournament has to be cancelled for any reason, all donations and entry fees will be fully refunded.

Raffle and silent auction items that can be used to aid in raising money for the Red Sox Foundation’s scholarship fund and additional funds for those in need throughout Southwest Florida are also being accepted.

The Red Sox Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the official team charity of the Boston Red Sox. The foundation’s primary focus locally is in serving the health, education, recreation and social service needs of children and families across Southwest Florida.

The Red Sox Foundation is reportedly one of the most successful in all of Major League Baseball.
