T he ninth annual Inter-Club Challenge, a spirited
golf tournament that pits golf club against golf
club in a friendly rivalry, provides the unique
opportunity to compete for a cause. Set for Monday, May
4, 2015 at The Club at Mediterra in Naples, proceeds
from the tournament will support a brighter future for
the children of Immokalee through The Immokalee
Foundation’s programs.

Jon Buddenhagen, head golf pro at Hole-In-The-
Wall Golf Club, played in the tournament for the first
time last year and was impressed not only with the event,
but with TIF and its mission to help every child become
capable of pursuing a productive life far beyond the limits
of Immokalee through programs focused on education,
career and life skills.

Buddenhagen said after his experience with the event,
he wanted to get involved with TIF in a capacity that was
appropriate for him; he decided to participate once again
this year, along with his member team. “The Immokalee
Foundation is one of the most comprehensive charities
I’ve seen,” he said. “They do what they set out to do.They
make an impact and follow through on it.”
