In an effort to enhance the community’s commitment to social responsibility, Piper’s Landing Yacht & Country Club (PLYCC) hosted its first “Charity Classic” this spring and raised more than $90,000 for three local charities.
The “PLYCC Charity Classic” was a one-day event that combined racquet sports, golf, silent and live auctions and tiered sponsorships to create a unique opportunity to raise money for nonprofit organizations in Martin County. This year’s recipients were the ARC of the Treasure Coast, Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County and the Martin County High School Tennis Program.
“The response from the Piper’s Landing ‘family’ was astounding,” said Gretchen Kundahl, chair of the event. “It is a testament to our belief in giving back and fostering a culture of support and shared responsibility in our community.”
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County is a nonprofit organization in Stuart that strives to enable all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The organization provides innovative, quality programs designed to empower youth to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives.
The ARC of the Treasure Coast is dedicated to empowering children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve their fullest potential through residential, vocational, educational, behavioral and other healthcare services.
The Martin County High School Tennis Program has been supported by Piper’s Landing members for several years. Cullen DeWindt, director of Racket Sports at Piper’s Landing, has two sons who played for the high school team and has taught members of the team over the years.
Local business sponsors included BrightView Landscape and DreamMaker Bath and Kitchen.
Piper’s Landing Yacht & Country Club is a member-owned private community in Palm City that aspires to be the choice for those seeking the best country club experience on the Treasure Coast of Florida.
