The eighth annual benefit golf tournament, "Tee It Up FORE The Kids," will take place on Friday, April 22, at The Shell Point Golf Club, 17500 On Par Boulevard, Fort Myers. This year's event has been renamed The Craig Scott Memorial Tournament in honor of Scott, a long-time board member and supporter of Heights Early Learning (formerly GLAD Kids). The event's proceeds benefit Heights Early Learning, an organization that supports 85 children from birth through age four. A part of The Heights Foundation/The Heights Center family, Heights Early Learning's mission is to ensure low-income families have quality, affordable childcare. Children read, learn and play in a safe environment while their parents provide for their families. The event is sponsored by entech. Registration is from 7:30 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. The shotgun start is at 8:30 a.m., with a box lunch and awards following the tournament. "The poverty rate for children in Harlem Heights is more than twice the county average," said Pat Ostrom, tournament director. "Heights Early Learning provides a stable, nurturing environment and means the parents can further their education and participate in the workforce." Tournament Registration is now available. The registration deadline is Friday, April 15. Registration is $125 per golfer or $500 for a foursome. In addition, sponsorships that include golf packages and recognition are available.
