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 over $1,700,000 through our Community Trust Fund -- making a valuable impact in Collier and Lee counties. During the years of 1987 - 2007, this event was a Runway Show and Luncheon and was always supported by the community. Our members worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make these fundraisers successful.
