Event Description:

Florida Gulf Coast University's annual Founder's Cup golf tournament will tee off on Friday, October 10, 2014 at Pelican's Nest Golf Club at Pelican Landing in Bonita Springs. The fundraiser for the FGCU Foundation netted more than $80,000 last year for scholarships and for programs that ensure student success, teaching excellence and community enrichment. Celebrating its 23rd year, the tournament has raised more than $1.2 million since its inception. Major sponsors of this year's tournament include Service Painting of Florida, Arthrex and Estero Bay Chevrolet. Sponsorship opportunities at several levels are still available, and donations are being accepted for the silent auction. The Founder's Cup begins with a buffet luncheon at 11:30 a.m. at the Pelican's Nest clubhouse. Golfers begin play at 1:15 p.m. with a shotgun start off Gator & Hurricane the two clubs’ courses. Following tournament play, golfers will enjoy a dinner buffet and awards reception. A silent auction will be open during lunch, throughout the day and at the beginning of the cocktail buffet immediately following play. Announcements will be given 15 minutes prior to auction close.
