The Hernando de Soto Historical Society is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1939 and consists of volunteer members who foster and facilitate an appreciation of Manatee County’s Spanish – American heritage. Through fundraising events and sponsorships we are able to provide educational opportunities and donate to local charities, organizations and individuals.
The annual De Soto Charity Golf Tournament is just what it sounds! Grab your friends for a fun filled day of playing golf and supporting the community. Proceeds of the Charity Golf Tournament will go to a charity of our choosing. There will be raffle items, including a 50/50, silent and live auction, and awards. On the course you will find food, complimentary beverages, and games!
Our annual Cornhole Tournament is a great way to support our fundraising efforts and participate in a low impact tournament. We have two divisions. Our “skilled division” is $60 per team of two. This division is for the more serious players which allows sanctioned organizations to bring their own boards and bags and compete for a cash prize (based on total number of participants). Our “fun division” is $40 per team of two, is designed for the players that want to show up and have fun using De Soto boards and equipment.
