Grassy Waters Preserve Hosts 12th Annual Golf and Gala Classic
Posted by Sprouts Staff
Grassy Waters Preserve Non-Profit is dedicated to the promotion of environmental education and recreation programs at the 20-square mile wetland nature preserve and water supply for the City of West Palm Beach. The organization is charged with the pursuit of funding in the forms of grants from public, private, and foundation sources in addition to fund-raising activities.
On October 9th and 10th, Grassy Waters Preserve is hosting their 12th Annual Golf and Gala Classic to raise money for the preserve’s environmental education and recreation programs and promote the preserve to local communities.
The Grassy Waters Preserve 12th Annual Golf and Gala Classic consists of several luxurious proceedings. Friday the 9th will be a night of decadent hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, a live auction, a silent auction, a preview of the Audubon Centennial Edition, gourmet dining, and dancing. On Saturday the 10th, the day starts with an early morning breakfast and then the tee-off at the beautiful IBIS golf courses. The event finishes off later that afternoon with a delectable luncheon and award ceremony.
Participants will receive gift bags filled with various treasures and keepsakes celebrating the event, including a commemorative bookmark donated by Sprouts. These beautifully designed bookmarks were created on Sprouts Plantable Seed Paper which is 100 % recycled. The bookmarks can be planted to assist in beautifying our surroundings by germinating into lovely wildflowers.
In order to help raise funds for the event, Sprouts also created beautiful note cards from pictures taken at the preserve. Featured among the note cards is the 1st place winner of Grassy Waters 2009 Photography Contest, Melinda Moore. Her photograph titled “Marsh Meditation” is one among five other cards highlighted in the set of six note cards. For every box of cards purchased a donation will be made by Sprouts to Grassy Waters Preserve.
Please help to support this great cause by ordering a box or two of the Grassy Waters Preserve note cards; featuring images of the beautiful preserve.
