The event brings Southwest Florida’s top professionals, partners and community champions. More than 100 golfers and volunteers participated in last year’s event, raising $100,000, which funded swim lessons for more than 250 children.

3. ALSO FRIDAY: Zach Person, from blues to rock and indie, at Arts Bonita
After gaining national attention on American Idol, Zach Person has emerged as one of the most electrifying young names in guitar-driven rock.
The Austin-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist brings a loud, raw, high-voltage sound built on blistering solos, deep blues roots, hard-driving riffs, and the kind of primal stage connection that can shift the energy of a room in an instant.
At 7:30 p.m., Friday, May 15, at the Performing Arts Center, Hinman Auditorium, 10150 Bonita Beach Road, Bonita Springs. More at artsbonita.org.
