Sarasota’s Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center (SPARCC) Foundation held its Scramble for SPARCC event on Thursday, Nov. 14.
All proceeds from the event will go towards SPARCC’s efforts to serve survivors of domestic and sexual violence in the community. Raffle items including golf gear, artwork and wine were available to be won post-tournament.
Golfers bought raffle tickets, sipped drinks and mingled before the tee time rolled around. A long line of golf carts prepared to take supporters of SPARCC out onto the course. After the round finished, participants gathered in the Harbourside Dining Room to see if their raffle tickets were lucky and continue to mingle and learn about SPARCC’s mission.
