26th Annual Seminole Region Charity Golf Tournament

CMAA & Seminole Region
Charity Golf
Chairman’s Message
Following the extraordinary
success of last year’s event, which once
again netted in excess of $550,000 for
local kids, it is a privilege, on behalf of
my wonderful committee, to host the
26th Annual Seminole Region Charity
Golf Tournament at Boca West
Country Club. It is the 22nd year that the Club has hosted
the event, and once again the Members of Boca West
have graciously donated the use of their Club for virtually
two full days. The committee is greatly appreciative to the
members and Board of Governors for their generosity.
Many of the club industry’s leading corporate
partners continue to support our event without
hesitation. But none more so than the following who
have generously supported us year after year with
$35,000 or more in cash and donations: Byron Russell,
CEO of Cheney Bros, Inc.; Don Wilson, CEO of
Sysco Southeast Florida; Tim Merrett, Global Head
of John Deere Golf; and Tom White and Mark Raiger
of Republic National Distributing Company. Our
event could not take place without the continuous
commitment from partners such as these and every year
their contributions inspire others to come on board with
our fundraising efforts!
As ever, the singular objective of this event is to
make a dramatic difference in the lives of thousands of
children in need through our beneficiaries. Every year
it is our goal to exceed the previous year in our effort
to continue being a special part in their lives! To that
end, you will enjoy what is renowned as one of the most
extraordinary events on the social calendar in a county
where first-class is customary!
We look forward to welcoming you and thank you
for your support of this magnificent charity event for the
children.
Warmest wishes,
Seminole Region

Through the “Clubs Collecting for Communities”
initiative, CMAA promotes community activity in all 50
Chapters. In the Florida Chapter, which comprises 11
percent of CMAA, all five regions hold annual charity
golf tournaments. The Seminole Region (Vero to the
Keys) is the largest, and the event is its finest testimony.
It began in 1991, when the two CMAA Chapters in
Florida merged to become one, with five regions. The
project for a Charity Golf Tournament in the Seminole
Region was the brainchild of a group, including the
event’s patriarch, Jay DiPietro, CCM, President and
General Manager of Boca West Country Club.
Perennial Chairman DiPietro saw increasing momentum
for the event develop from his vision and infectious
leadership, which led to the strategic decision by a
dynamic Committee to award proceeds only to localcommunity children’s organizations.
Consequently, some of the club industry’s leading
corporate partners, such as Cheney Brothers, Inc. and
Sysco, dramatically elevated their commitment. Their
lead inspired others to step up, including John Deere
Golf, and Republic National Distributing Company.
