In 2016, Brown & Brown of Southwest Florida presented the inaugural Par-Tee for Tots, the first-ever golf tournament to benefit Child Care of Southwest Florida, raising $27,000. Again this year, 100 percent of the proceeds will provide educational scholarships for low-income working families to access high-quality early childhood education and related services to promote health and school readiness.

Brown & Brown originally partnered with Child Care of Southwest Florida following an experience that left a lasting impression on Employee Benefits Advisor Bill Emo. He had begun volunteering with his youngest daughter at the Joseph H. Messina Children’s Center, a Child Care of Southwest Florida center on Fowler Street in Fort Myers. He recalled, “These children and families are fortunate to have such a joyful, stimulating place to grow and explore. Child Care of Southwest Florida is a model for creating an optimal environment for helping kids thrive.” Emo is now on the organization’s board of directors.

Carol Conway, CEO of Child Care of Southwest Florida, said, “Brown & Brown is a community-minded company that is fantastic to partner with. Under their direction, the tournament has tapped into a wellspring of support for our mission.”

Along with Brown & Brown, major sponsors include Lee Health as Double Eagle Sponsor, plus ABS Distributors, AVAirPros, Cigna, Enrollment Alliance, Henderson Franklin Attorneys at Law, McDuff Underwriters Inc., Myers Brettholtz & Company PA, Peachtree Special Risk Brokers LLC, Tricircle Pavers and United Healthcare.

Various levels of sponsorships featuring attractive promotional opportunities are still available, from the $150 Tee Sponsor to the $7,500 Title Sponsor.

Registration, breakfast and driving range practice begin at 7:30 a.m., with a 9 a.m. shotgun start. Lunch and awards presentation starts at 1 p.m. All-inclusive golfer registration is $130 for an individual, $520 for a foursome.
