SUMMARY:LARC Announces Fore the Future Youth Golf Challenge
LOCATION:8851 Crown Colony Blvd. Fort Myer, FL 33908
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:LARC (Lee Association for Remarkable Citizens), a nonprofit organization th
 at empowers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities th
 rough vocational training, residential support, and inclusive community ser
 vices, is proud to launch the Fore the Future Youth Golf Challenge—a one-of
 -a-kind fundraising event just for kids and teens in grades 1–12. This exci
 ting day of fun, mentorship, and prizes.  \nThis is Southwest Florida’s fir
 st youth golf fundraiser of its kind, created to bring together elementary,
  middle, and high school students of all skill levels—from beginners to fut
 ure champions—for a meaningful cause. Golfers will participate in fun on-co
 urse challenges and enjoy an awards ceremony and great prizes.\n“Whether yo
 u’re new to golf or already mastering your swing, the LARC Youth Golf Chall
 enge is your chance to be part of something meaningful,” said Angela Katz, 
 LARC Executive Director. “By raising funds, kids are helping people with in
 tellectual and developmental disabilities learn life skills, find jobs, and
  live more independently. They will also be role models—showing the communi
 ty the power of inclusion, kindness, and youth leadership. All skill levels
  are welcome, and it’s not just about winning—it’s about giving your best, 
 having fun, and making a difference. So grab your clubs and join us—you’ll 
 be swinging for a cause that truly matters.”\nTo participate, each golfer i
 s asked to raise a minimum of $250, which directly supports LARC’s programs
  for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  The top
  three fundraisers receive amazing prizes and a hole-in-one challenge will 
 feature a magical Disney vacation for four.\nRaising $250 is easier than yo
 u think! Kids can ask 10 people to donate $25 or 25 people to give $10—or m
 ix it up. Other creative ideas can be found on LARC’s website www.larcleeco
 unty.orgi  including a Sponsor-Per-Hole Challenge, where friends and family
  pledge a donation for each hole played (for example, $10 per hole for 9 ho
 les = $90); a Collect Change Campaign, using a decorated jar to collect spa
 re change; or asking for donations in lieu of birthday or holiday gifts. Pa
 rticipants can also raise funds by offering chore services—like mowing lawn
 s, raking leaves, walking dogs, or washing cars. With a parent’s help, kids
  can also post a short fundraising video on social media explaining their g
 oal and including a donation link.\nBe part of something meaningful. Sign u
 p, start fundraising, and swing FORE a more inclusive future!\nBusinesses a
 nd community supporters are encouraged to amplify their impact by sponsorin

 nge of promotional benefits—and more importantly, they send a powerful mess
