Spots still open for the 10th Annual Cape Coral Animal Shelter Golf Classic
The tee-off time for one of Cape Coral’s most popular golf fundraisers is fast approaching.
Spots are still open for the 10th Annual Cape Coral Animal Shelter Golf Classic to be held at the Palmetto-Pine Country Club on Nov. 7.
One of CCAS’s major fundraisers, the Golf Classic brings together golfers, local businesses, animal lovers and community supporters for a fun-filled day on a great course — all to benefit the animals of the Cape Coral Animal Shelter.
“We are incredibly fortunate to live in a community where local businesses continue to show up for our animals,” said CCAS Vice President and Event Chair Pamela Aubuchon. “Their support makes this tournament possible and, more importantly, it helps us continue saying ‘yes’ to animals who need us.”
Participants will tee off at 7 a.m., with the event running until 2 p.m.
This year, golfers will have even more reasons to aim for that perfect shot. Players will have the chance to win a $10,000 hole-in-one prize sponsored by IncredibleBank or a lease on a Jeep Wrangler sponsored by Cape Coral Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
The tournament will also feature plenty of other on-course games and contests, raffles, prizes, food, drinks, and friendly competition throughout the day.
Organizers said every dollar raised through the Golf Classic benefits the animals of the Cape Coral Animal Shelter, helping to provide food, shelter, veterinary treatment, rehabilitation and compassionate care for animals in need. CCAS receives no government funding for its operations and relies on private donations, fundraising events and community support to continue its lifesaving mission.
CCAS officials said that support is needed now more than ever, as CCAS continues its major expansion — including a new 19,000-square-foot shelter and the future expansion of its low-cost veterinary clinic. The organization is preparing to help more animals and families throughout Southwest Florida than ever before. At the same time, the cost of providing medical care, food and supplies for shelter animals continues to rise.
“This tournament really is one of those events where everyone wins,” Aubuchon said. “You get to spend a beautiful day on the golf course, enjoy some friendly competition, have a chance to win some incredible prizes, and know that at the end of the day, you played for something much bigger than golf. You played for the animals.”
From serious golfers to weekend players, or simply those who wants to support a great cause, the Cape Coral Animal Shelter Golf Classic promotes a fantastic day of golf, games, prizes, camaraderie — and plenty of fun.
