Community Cooperative’s 16th Annual Becoming Cosmopolitan: ‘Gone Country’ fundraising event planned Oct. 13
Community Cooperative, along with presenting sponsor FineMark National Bank & Trust, will host the return of the popular annual fall fundraiser, Becoming Cosmopolitan: Gone Country, on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. at The Ranch Concert Hall & Saloon in Fort Myers.
It’s the 16th year of Community Cooperative’s signature fundraising event, promising Southwest Florida a darn tootin’ good time! Guests will put on their cosmopolitan cowboy boots and two-step over to The Ranch Concert Hall & Saloon for an evening featuring cowboy cuisine, country cocktails at the watering hole, line dancing, boutique shopping and incredible silent and live auctions – all while raising money to support the mission of ending hunger and homelessness in Lee County.
“With the rising costs of gas, food and rent, people in our community are relying on us now more than ever,” said Stefanie Edwards, EO of Community Cooperative. “We are extremely excited to be able to host the fundraiser this year after having to take a couple of years off due to the pandemic.”
Tickets go on sale in August. In the meantime, save the date and invite friends for the 16th Annual Becoming Cosmopolitan: Gone Country.
Sponsorships as well as donations for silent and live auctions are needed. Contact Beth@CommunityCooperative.com or call (239) 332-7687 ext. 101 for more information.
