Each year the Club’s Charity Committee conducts a survey to determine which Charity organizations have the support of Club’s members. To be considered, a charity must be a registered 501.C3 non-profit in Florida and provide services in the local area. Using survey feedback, the committee develops a recommendation for a “Giving Plan” which is presented to the Executive Committee. The Giving Plan includes direct cash donations, member fundraising events and food and clothing drives.!
