The United Way of Indian River County is celebrating a monumental milestone this spring, marking four decades of unwavering community support with its 40th Annual Citrus Golf Tournament. Scheduled for Monday, May 18, the highly anticipated event will take place at the prestigious Vero Beach Country Club. This beloved local tradition not only offers a fantastic day on the greens but also serves as the organization’s signature fundraiser, directly benefiting families right here on the Treasure Coast.
Golfers, philanthropists, and community members are invited to participate in the day’s festivities, which will kick off with morning registration and a hearty breakfast at 8 a.m., followed by a prompt shotgun start at 9 a.m. Participants will enjoy a full 18 holes of golf, interactive on-course games, and the chance to win exciting raffle prizes. The event will conclude with a celebratory post-tournament awards luncheon.
This 40th anniversary is a testament to the enduring generosity and spirit of our community. What started as a local golf outing has grown into a powerful tradition that brings people together year after year to make a lasting difference. We are incredibly proud to celebrate this milestone and grateful to everyone who has helped make it possible.
The above sentiment from Meredith Egan, CEO of the United Way of Indian River County, highlights the deep-rooted generosity of the Vero Beach community. Funds raised from the Citrus Golf Tournament are vital to the local area. The proceeds are carefully allocated to fund essential programs focusing on health, education, and financial stability. By participating, locals ensure that immediate neighborhood needs are met while helping to build stronger, more resilient community initiatives for the future.
