ORLANDO | Central Florida realtor David Dorman and CENTURY 21 Professional Group are back with their annual fundraising event for EasterSeals Florida.
Golf Rock: Fore A Cause will happen Nov. 13 from 11 a.m.-8:30 p.m. at the West Orange Country Club in Winter Garden.
“This is something we do every year as a part of our philanthropy through CENTURY 21,” Dorman says. “We’ve raised over a half a million dollars for EasterSeals over the years. Our company has been doing it for over 20 years now and this particular event is something I created about seven or eight years ago.”
Golf Rock will begin with a tee time of 1 p.m., doors will open at 11:30 a.m. for the golfers, then starting at 5 p.m. attendees will be treated to a performance from Dorman’s band, Acoustic Joe, as well as food trucks, raffle prizes and both a silent and live auction.
This year is the first time the event has included the golf component.
“One of my agents wanted to do a golf fundraiser which I was happy to be involved with but I already had this event that I was working on so we decided to combine the two,” he says.
EasterSeals is a nonprofit founded in 1919 that “provides exceptional services, education, outreach and advocacy so that people living with autism and other disabilities can live, learn, work and play in our communities,” the organization’s site states. “Easterseals Florida assists more than one million children and adults with disabilities and their families annually through a nationwide network of more than 450 service sites. Each center provides top-quality, family-focused and innovative services tailored to meet the specific needs of the particular community it serves.”
“It’s been a bit challenging with COVID to get the event going, but we have had amazing community support,” Dorman says. “Blue Star from HÄOS on Church, Hamburger Mary’s, The Hammered Lamb, Pom Pom’s and Se7enBites, they have all given us gifts to raffle off.”
Along with donations from local LGBTQ eateries, the event will also feature a raffle for a pair of cruise tickets.
“Each raffle ticket for the cruise is $100 and the tickets are limited to 100 being sold so each ticket gives you a one in one hundred chance to win,” Dorman says. “And those can be purchased on our website as well so you don’t have to be at the event to be able to contribute and help out.”
