The AFCAAM fifth annual Charity Classic golf tournament will be Saturday, April 19, at the Verandah Club in East Lee County.

AFCAAM stands for African Caribbean Americans and is a non-profit organization working in the black community of Fort Myers to promote self-reliance and human dignity through the communication of Christian values. The golf tournament proceeds support the organization’s goals.

The tournament begins with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. on the Old Orange golf course designed by renowned golf architect Bob Cupp. Following the scramble tournament, participants will enjoy a buffet lunch and awards reception. Registration is $600 per foursome; the registration fee for an individual player is $150.

Prizes will be awarded for the first three places for both men’s and women’s teams. Other prizes will be awarded for closest to the pin and longest drive and a local car dealership will be offering a luxury automobile as a hole-in-one prize. Sponsorships opportunities are available for local businesses.

Verandah Club is on State Road 80 about two miles east of I-75.
