Supporters of the First Coast YMCA gathered at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club on Monday, Oct. 10, for the sixth annual Drivers of Change Invitational golf tournament. The event brings together 100 business and nonprofit leaders in Northeast Florida to drive change in the community through donations to YMCA programs.
First Coast YMCA President and CEO Eric Mann played in the tournament.
“It’s about the children,” he said. “While we enjoy this great Florida weather and the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club course, we’re out here for one purpose and that’s to support the critical programs that have an indelible impact on the scholars and teens we serve.”
The Y ended the day with more than $100,000 raised. The funds will benefit the First Coast YMCA Tiger Academy charter school and Johnson Family YMCA Teen Forward Program.
The Y has been a leading nonprofit organization working to empower young people, improve community health and well-being and inspire action in Northeast Florida for more than 100 years. There are locations in five Northeast Florida counties with more than 60 youth-serving program locations.
