Fundraising

Our annual Fundraising has enabled us to give financial support to non-profit agencies in Southwest Florida. With the help of our Circle of Friends, The minor League, various corporate donors and member contributions, The League Club has contributed more than $2,300,000 through our Community Trust Fund -- making a valuable impact in Collier and Lee counties. Our members have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make these fundraisers successful.

February 11, 2011 Fundraising Luncheon featured author Kathryn Stockett

Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.  Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.

On February 11, 2011 at the Naples Grande, Kathryn Stockett joined us to discuss her first novel The Help soon to be a major motion picture from Dreamworks.

The event raised $200,000 for The League Club's Community Trust Fund from which annual grants are made.
