The De Soto Historical Society is proud to announce the 26th Annual De Soto Charity Crewe Golf Tournament, returning Friday, October 3, 2025, at the prestigious Heritage Harbour Golf Club. More than just a day on the course, this beloved Bradenton tradition unites golfers, businesses, and community members to raise vital funds for nonprofit organizations making a difference in Manatee County.
For more than two decades, the Crewe of De Soto has used this tournament as a vehicle for generosity, turning drives and putts into meaningful impact. What began as a way to bring the community together for a day of golf has grown into one of Bradenton’s most impactful charity events, raising tens of thousands of dollars each year for local nonprofits, schools, and families in need.
Participants will enjoy a premier golf experience while giving back:
18 holes at the renowned IMG Academy Golf Club
Raffle prizes, 50/50 drawings, and on-course contests
Silent and live auctions featuring exclusive items
Complimentary food and beverages throughout the day
A lively post-tournament awards dinner and celebration
Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just love supporting a good cause, this event offers a unique blend of fun, fellowship, and philanthropy.
In 2024, through events like the Charity Golf Tournament, the Crewe of De Soto proudly contributed more than $40,000 back into the community, supporting organizations such as:
Bradenton Blue Foundation
Stillpoint Mission
Kids Against Hunger
Beds for Kids
Defibrillate Manatee Foundation
Queen’s Court Scholarships
Every swing taken, every sponsorship purchased, and every donation made ensures that vital resources continue flowing to these causes.
The De Soto Charity Golf Tournament also provides valuable opportunities for local businesses and community leaders to get involved. From hole sponsorships to premier event partnerships, each level offers marketing benefits and visibility while aligning your brand with one of Bradenton’s most cherished traditions of giving.
Join us on Friday, October 3, 2025, for the 26th Annual De Soto Charity Crewe Golf Tournament at Heritage Harbour Golf Club. Together, let’s make this year’s tournament a true celebration of charity, community, and compassion.
