The Floridant/10210907

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- The Guardian ad Litem Foundation, 20th Judicial Circuit, is hosting a fundraising event Jan. 19 at Topgolf in Fort Myers to raise money for programs benefiting children and teens in foster care.

Golfing Fore a Great Cause features an evening of golf, entertainment, prizes and a dinner buffet.

Topgolf offers a dynamic, technology-driven golf entertainment experience and features high-tech gaming, outdoor hitting bays, chef-driven menus, hand-crafted cocktails, music and more.

"Golfing Fore a Great Cause was postponed because of Hurricane Ian, so this will be a great opportunity to enjoy an evening of casual golf at one of Southwest Florida's hottest social venues while supporting a good cause – children and teens in foster care," said Jessica Stanfield, the foundation's executive director. "We had to cancel other fundraising events after the storm, so the Topgolf event is incredibly important in helping us accomplish our mission."
