Monies raised will provide $80,000 in scholarships for local high-school students

The Red Sox Foundation will celebrate 15 years of its annual Swings for the Sox golf tournament in 2026.

Since its inception, this community outreach effort has raised more than $759.400 for local charities and specifically $674,400 for their local scholarship program.

The tournament will take place on Friday, October 2 at the Tiburón Golf Club’s Gold Course located at 2620 Tiburón Drive in Naples.

A scramble format with prizes for the longest drive, putting, closest to the pin and more will begin at 8:30 a.m. after registration at 7:15 a.m. A continental breakfast will be included as well as a buffet lunch.

All proceeds from this year’s tournament will benefit the Lee County Red Sox Scholarship program. Each year, the Red Sox Foundation awards a $5,000 college scholarship to one deserving student from each of the public high schools in Lee County and one student from a Lee County charter and ALS school for a total of 16 scholarships worth $80,000.

This year’s title sponsor is once again Naples’ Bone Hook Brewing and Craft Kitchen which joins
