Teeing it up for a splendid cause, 120 golfers will raise funds for GiGi’s Playhouse Tampa, which provides support and programming for the local Down syndrome community at the sold-out charity golf tournament.
The Indo American Foundation of Tampa Bay (IAFTB) has announced final details today for its 9th Annual Charity Golf Tournament to be held on Sunday, May 5th, at the The Club at Cheval, in Lutz, Florida.
“The scramble golf tournament is eccentric and a great deal of entertainment for golfers. We are proud to host this impressive annual event, and we’re even more excited that so many golfers return for the gratification each year,” said Kal Patel, the President and Co-Founder of the Foundation.
The Tournament will have many exciting vendors sampling their products such as: Velvet Gypsy, Sovereign Brands, the Corona Cigar Company, 3 Daughters Brewing, plus hot and fresh ethnic Indian street food right on the course. Additionally, the event will feature tournament activity classics like closest-to-the-pin contest, long drive contest, raffle contest and special golf prizes.
The tournament is fortunate again to have the Cheer Gems spreading the message of Acceptance and Inclusion.
