Neal Communities, southwest Florida’s premier, private homebuilder, donated $500 to sponsor the Boca Royale Women’s Association Breast Cancer Golf Tournament. The tournament was played at the Boca Royale Golf and Country Club on January 27, 2024, and raised approximately $45,000 for the Florida Cancer Specialist Foundation.
The Breast Cancer Tournament is one of two charity golf tournaments that the Women’s Golf Association organizes. The second is the Christmas Tournament where all of the proceeds are donated to Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office for their Shop with a Cop program.
The Breast Cancer Tournament started with a Kick-off Party on Friday night with silent and live auctions. On the day of the tournament, there were a variety of different games and refreshments set up along the course, including a “you hit it, you win it” putting contest, a Bloody Mary bar with all the toppings, and chance to win a new Ford Escape if you Hit a Hole in One. Most of the participants dressed in pink.
“We love to see members of the community come together to have fun and raise funds for important causes,” said Pat Neal, founder and chairman of Neal Communities. “We are happy to be a sponsor of this event and contribute to the fundraising for Florida Cancer Specialist Foundation.”
Neal Communities has a philanthropic culture and a core belief that “Where You Live Matters.” The latest giving is part of more than $8 million Neal Communities has donated to local charities and causes throughout Southwest Florida.
