North Fort Chamber seeking golfers, sponsors for tourney

Fundraiser Oct. 10 at Del Tura Golf & Country Club

By CHUCK BALLARO - | Aug 11, 2020

The North Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce is working on a month-to-month basis in regards to the pandemic.

While it is continuing many of its basic services, its fundraising and monthly events have been put on the back burner.

There is one exception.

The hope is that the chamber’s largest fundraiser, the Calvin Peete Classic, will go on as planned on Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Del Tura Golf & Country Club.

Plans for the golf tournament are in full swing. Lee County Insurance is the main sponsor for the fourth-annual event, and Pepper Peete, the widow of Calvin Peete, and their daughters are scheduled to play, according to Wendy Murray, executive director of the chamber.

Last year the family members couldn’t make it after the tournament was rained out and were unavailable for the rain date.

Murray said they are still looking for golfers and sponsors for the event.
