We learned early on that FUN and FUNDraising go hand in hand. Our annual fundraising dinner party, Sporting for A Cure, has grown from 30 close friends and family, raising $3,000, to selling out the past several years with more than 250 people in attendance. In 2024 our amazing attendees helped us raise more than $400,000! The growth has shown us just how much people want to help local families and find a cure for cancer.
We are in our 17th year of hosting our main “FUN”raiser - Sporting for A Cure. Typically held in early February, Sporting for A Cure is a great way for us to “kickoff” the year with a tailgate dinner party. Since we want everyone to feel like they are at a tailgate party, the event is usually held outside at The Club at Olde Cypress allowing us to enjoy the gorgeous Florida “winter” weather. Everyone represents their favorite sports teams wearing jerseys, jeans, and other sports apparel. Guests enjoy our relaxed atmosphere while bidding on amazing prizes and trips in our chance drawings, silent and live auctions.
The evening concludes with our “Not So Olympic Relay” Tournament. This tournament is a team competition playing tailgate-style games (cornhole, etc.) while working their way through a March Madness bracket. This friendly competition is a great way to relive the glory days of your early twenties! The winner receives bragging rights and a championship belt.
The Bad Santa Trolley Hop is the start of the Christmas season. So what’s better than 160 people dressed up as Elves, Santa and Mrs Clause to bar hop?
Come show your Christmas spirit as we sing Christmas carols and have a little fun. Santa and Elf apparel is encouraged but not mandatory.
