Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise Prepares for 38th Annual Golf Tournament to Support Local Education

The Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise is preparing for its 38th Annual Golf Tournament scheduled for Monday, November 10, 2025, at Boca Grove Country Club. This longstanding community event brings together golf enthusiasts, local businesses, and community leaders for a day focused on charitable giving and supporting local education initiatives. Dr. Steve Alman, Chairman of the event, expressed enthusiasm about the new venue, noting that the prestigious Boca Grove course has generated significant excitement among participants and sponsors alike.

The tournament serves as a major fundraising vehicle for both the Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise Foundation and the Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce's Golden Bell Education Foundation. This year's event will honor Chuck Stout, Chair of the Golden Bell Education Foundation, for his exceptional leadership and dedication to education and youth development throughout the Boca Raton community. Alman emphasized that Stout exemplifies the Rotary spirit of 'Service Above Self' through his outstanding contributions to supporting local schools and students.

A significant feature of this year's tournament is the live online auction, which allows community members to bid on exclusive experiences and items before the event. Notable auction items include an Eddie V's Prime Seafood package featuring dinner for six with wine pairing and a champagne gift basket valued at $1,100, an FAU Football Experience package with four Hyundai Deck tickets and club wristbands for the UConn game on November 22, 2025, valued at $750, and a golf foursome at The Boca Raton valid for one year with a fair market value of $500. The auction is accessible at https://sunrisegolf.givesmart.com where bidding is currently underway.

The tournament has attracted significant sponsorship support from organizations including Alman & Katz Dentistry and The GOLS Foundation. Sponsorship opportunities range from Event Title Sponsor at $10,000 to Silver Sponsor at $2,000, with additional options available for supporting various aspects of the event including drinks, golf shirts, balls, hats, lunch, and swag bags. Golf registration is available for foursomes at $1,400 or individual players at $350, while non-golfers can attend the Barbecue Dinner & Drinks for $55. The continued success of this annual event demonstrates the community's commitment to supporting educational programs that benefit local students and schools through organizations like the Golden Bell Education Foundation, which has invested over $2 million in Boca Raton's public schools since 1991.
