Tee Up For Tots

More than 500 golfers will hit the greens for the Boca West Children’s Foundation 8th Annual $100,000 Golf Challenge on Nov. 8 & 9 at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton.

The event will serve as a fundraiser for each of the foundation’s 31 participating children’s charity partners. Those not able to play are encouraged to donate their tickets to first responders and frontline workers. 

The challenge is spread out over two days in order to keep golfers safe and socially distanced, with a limited number of participants and stringent guidelines. Michael Sneider, chairman of the Boca West Children’s Foundation Advisory Committee, will chair the event.

The cost per golfer is $650 with the majority of the fee going to charities. In addition to those funds, charities will vie for a portion of $100,000. Each will receive between $2,000 and $10,000, depending on its team’s placement.

“Many of our charity partners have had to cancel their fundraisers this year, and our golf challenge will serve as fundraisers for each of our participating children’s nonprofits,” says Pamela Weinroth, executive director of Boca West Children’s Foundation, in a press release. 

Tickets include a sleeve of golf balls, a golf shirt, a gift, food, a take-home package of wine and hors d’oeuvres, and one of the ducks that will be dropped from a crane for a chance to win $2,500. Additional ducks for the drop are $50 each.
