eTradeWire News/10789247
NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. - eTradeWire -- The Tommy Bohanon Foundation collected 600 toys for local children and raised $20,000 in monetary contributions at the fifth annual Tommy Bohanon Foundation Softball Tournament.
Held Nov. 30 at the Northwest Softball Complex in Cape Coral, the event drew 12 coed teams of varying skill levels – many clad in custom Christmas uniforms – and featured 18 local vendors selling holiday crafts, food, artwork and home decor. Children enjoyed a bounce house, arts and crafts, and other games, along with opportunities to take photographs with Santa Claus.
Beneficiaries of the 2024 event included Children's Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida, Children's Network of Southwest Florida, Living Word Ministries, Lucy's Love & Light Ministries and North Fort Myers Fire Control & Rescue Service District.
"Sixty-five percent of families live below the poverty line in Southwest Florida," said foundation President Tommy Bohanon. "If we can help give the kids a Christmas they wouldn't otherwise have, then we're taking a step in the right direction."
