Shell Point Open a Grand Success
Golf Tournament Raises Money for Hospice

Bank of America's Brent Brawford presents a check to Peter Dys, president of Shell Point.

FORT MYERS - It was a shotgun start to a fun-filled morning at the first annual Shell Point Open golf tournament that took place on Saturday, March 29. More than 120 participants "scrambled" to their holes to try to win prizes such as $15,000 in cash, golf clubs, or a trip for two to anywhere in the United States.

The 2003 Shell Point Open, sponsored by The Legacy Foundation and Bank of America, raised over $11,000 to benefit Hope Hospice at Shell Point, enhancing the quality services of our hospice program for the benefit of all patients in need of this service.

The golf tournament was a huge success due to all of our generous sponsors who contributed to this worthy program. Our title sponsor, Bank of America, got the ball rolling with a contribution of $5,000.

A foursome tees off on the shady 11th hole.
In addition to our title sponsor, 21 hole and food sponsors also contributed. They included Wright Construction Corp.; B & I Contractors; Lee Drywall; Metro Mechanical, Inc.; Schwab Ready Mix; MAJ Contracting; RDG Schutte Wilscam Birge; Service Painting; Crowther Roofing; Lee Mar Building and Construction; Millennium Electrical; Miller, Helms, and Folk, P.A; Florida Glass and Aluminum; Douglas E. Milsap, D.D.S; Richard Cotter, P.A.; Eye Centers of Florida; Sheppard, Brett, Stewart, Hersch, and Kinsey, P.A.; Amera-Tech, Inc.; Kenneth G. Fisher, C.P.A.; Henderson, Franklin, Starnes, and Holt; and US FoodService.

Plus, we wish to extend a special thank you to Shell Point residents, employees and friends of The Pavilion who made a special gift to Hope Hospice at Shell Point by participating in the Golf Open.

Contributions can be made at any time to the hospice program here at Shell Point by making checks payable to Shell Point, c/o The Legacy Foundation 15010 Shell Point Blvd., Fort Myers, FL 33908. Please designate on your check or correspondence "For the benefit of Hope Hospice at Shell Point."

Congratulations to all the prizewinners! We hope to make this an annual event on this championship golf course at Shell Point. Our tournament for next year is scheduled for Saturday, April 3, 2004, so please plan to join us!
