August 6, 2025 – Lee Health Foundation invites community members, sponsors and golfers to come together in celebration, remembrance and support at the 32nd Annual Anthony J. “Tony” Budreau Memorial Golf Classic, taking place Saturday, October 4 at the Saltleaf Golf Preserve in Bonita Springs.
This annual event honors the legacy of Tony Budreau, a Fort Myers native, standout athlete, and beloved son, brother and friend, who passed away from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) at 26 years old. Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Lee Health ALS Clinic, providing critical care and resources for patients living with ALS in Southwest Florida.
“This event is more than just a round of golf,” said Colleen Kofsky, associate director of development for Lee Health Foundation. “It’s about continuing Tony’s legacy by giving hope to others. Every swing helps improve lives.”
Participants will enjoy an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start, competition for cash prizes in two closest-to-the-pin contests, a generous raffle, followed by a lunch buffet and awards ceremony. Single golfer tickets are $230, with all proceeds supporting ALS care through Lee Health Foundation.
Sponsorship opportunities are available, including the Presenting Sponsor at $5,000, Red Sponsor at $1,200, Corporate Partner at $1,000, Blue Sponsor at $500, and Hole Sponsor at $100.
Registration closes September 22. For more information, visit LeeHealthFoundation.org/32nd-Annual-Memorial-Golf-Classic.
