Knights of Columbus Council 13483, Child Care of Southwest Florida announce ‘FORE’ Our Community Golf Tournament on Oct. 11

Registration is now open for the annual “FORE” Our Community Golf Tournament in North Fort Myers, hosted by Knights of Columbus (KoC) Council 13483 at Saint Cecilia. Proceeds from the event will support Child Care of Southwest Florida in providing local children with scholarships to attend early learning programs at centers in Lee and Hendry counties.

The four-person scramble charity golf tournament features breakfast, a round of golf, an awards luncheon, a goody bag, and a silent auction and raffle. This year’s tournament is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 11, at Magnolia Landing Golf & Country Club, located at 501 Avenida del Vera in North Fort Myers. The semi-private 18-hole course, designed by renowned architect Gordon G. Lewis, meanders through natural pine forests and oak groves.

“We are truly grateful to continue serving as the primary beneficiary of this fantastic golf event,” said Chris Hansen, CEO of Child Care of Southwest Florida. “With the generous support of the KoC, these funds will continue to make a significant impact on the lives of young learners at our centers by providing access to high-quality early childhood education.”

The organization’s mission is to strengthen and enhance the lives of preschool children and their families through a quality and affordable early childhood education program. As a nonprofit provider with five learning centers in Lee and Hendry counties, Child Care of Southwest Florida partners with local charitable foundations, businesses and organizations to offer high-quality programs at a reduced rate to families that need it most.

Presented by South Trail Tire & Auto Repair, the “FORE” Our Community Golf Tournament is hosted by KoC Council 13483, a Catholic fraternal service organization in Fort Myers. Last year, the KoC presented a check for $7,080 raised from its annual golf tournament, supporting low-income families with access to affordable early education learning opportunities at Child Care of Southwest Florida’s centers.

The cost for golf participants is $145 per golfer and includes golf, breakfast, lunch and tournament swag. Sponsorship opportunities are available, including $125 for Hole Sponsor, $500 for Special Recognition Sponsor, $700 for Birdie Team Sponsor and $1,400 for Eagle Team Sponsor. Sponsorship packages include golf, meals, event signage and other public recognition.
