The Dolphin Bar And Shrimp House’s Golf Tournament
Fundraiser Will Help Provide Thousands With Holiday Meals
The first ever Dolphin Bar and Shrimp House Golf
Tournament Fundraiser was a tremendous success that will
help thousands of families who struggle with hunger enjoy a
traditional holiday meal this year. All proceeds were donated
to Treasure Coast Food Bank where they’ll be used to help
provide more than 5,700 Treasure Coast families with all the
fixings for a traditional holiday meal.
Twenty teams braved a soggy afternoon to play in the
sold-out tournament held on Oct. 26 at The Shores of
North River Club in Stuart. The day ended with an awards
ceremony, raffles and banquet at The Dolphin Bar and Shrimp
House’s beautiful waterfront venue.
Winning team Steve Elliot, Ted Tavolario, Ray Davies, and Andres Castellanos, owner of The Shores of North River Golf
