Join us for the 1st Annual "GTG Tampa Charity Golf Tournament" for a day of amazing golf, fundraising support, good food, and even better vibes! Enjoy a day filled with great fun, a variety of contests and prizes, local vendors and giving back! The golf tournament is new to the lineup for our annual Labor Day Anniversary Celebration. Over the last three years, our chapter has been joined by Tampa residents and GTG members from MIA, Sanford, JAX, D.C., MD, VA, CHI, CA, NJ, NY, GA, and others in a weekend of enjoying all the Cigar Capital has to offer. GTG Tampa has longed prioritized our community outreach through the GTGgives initiative. To date, we have provided hygiene packs to high school students, delivered Thanksgiving dinners to senior citizens, provided clothes and gifts to orphanage during Christmas, supplied food for cold-weather shelters, and much more. This year we invite you to participate in our newest philanthropic effort. Our charity golf tournament will be used to help students and teachers in our communities. A lot of families are unable to purchase all items their young children need and too often our teachers are going into their own pockets to help fill that need while purchasing instructional items for their own classrooms. GTG Tampa wants to help lighten the load. Each year we will sponsor a well-deserving school where there is a proven need, by donating all proceeds from the tournament to that school. The recipient of this year's support is Williams Middle Magnet International Baccalaureate School. (More information on the school is available upon request.)
