ore Collier County students will be
receiving college scholarships this
year as a result of The Founders Fund
M record-breaking Ed Brennan Memorial
Golf Tournament and Banquet. Over $640,000 was
raised at the two-day event which was held at Club
Pelican Bay this past Spring. Over 270 guests were in
attendance for the banquet and nearly 200 participated
in the golf tournament. The presenting sponsor for the
event was Preferred Travel of Naples.
Again, this year, Auctioneer Scott Robertson
worked his magic during the ‘Ask’ which raised a
record amount of $188,000. An auction item bringing
in top dollar during the live auction was a gourmet
meal for 12 prepared by Chef Joe of Club Pelican Bay.
The Founders Fund, founded in 1991 by Club
Pelican Bay golf members, is a non-profit charitable
organization which provides financial assistance to
students from Collier County in their pursuit of a
higher education. Rob and Sue McNaghten with Mary and Scott Robertson
