caddyshack-restaurant-logoIt’s that time of year again! Dust off those crazy golf pants, avoid the gopher at all cost, and make it out to the 12th annual Murray Bros. Caddyshack Charity Golf Tournament. Hosted by the famous Murray family, this all-inclusive two day charity event is packed full with great golf, celebrity guests, live music, and all kinds of other antics. Everything is included except the hotel and transportation to this once-a-year, can’t miss charity event. Starting in 2001, this special event has raised over $1.5 million for healthcare and education throughout the first coast. This year, part of the proceeds will be donated to The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to help further provide equipment and training to fire departments, law enforcement, and EMS around Northeast Florida.

Golf pairs will be picked at random.  With multiple silent and live auctions taking place until 9:30 pm, there is plenty of opportunity to show your passion for fundraising and help the Murray brothers support our first coast. Joel Murray, the youngest of the six Murray brothers, will be hosting the annual LoudMouth Crazy Pants contest, where you never know what you’re going to see. Dinner and beverages will be served Thursday night and the dress is resort casual.

After an amazing night of fundraising comes the golf tournament.
