Gatsby’s Getaway at the Jac
SFSC Foundation’s Legacy Showcase
Celebrating 40 years of changing lives with 100 years of strength and beauty in downtown Avon Park
June 13, 2024

We invite you to step back in time to the Roaring 20s at the Hotel Jacaranda as we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the SFSC Foundation and 100 years since the “gracious lady” of downtown Avon Park began to be built brick by brick.

The evening will include heavy hors d’oeuvres, beer, and wine, all while kicking back and enjoying the tunes from Vivacity, a five-piece band with an extensive song list of music from the 1920s, perfect for the Gatsby’s Getaway and the prohibition era.

So ladies, don your flapper dress, pearls, and feathers; gents, bring out the suspenders and spats — This event will be the cat’s meow of the season!

Sponsorships are available now; please contact the SFSC Foundation Office at 863-784-7440 or foundation@southflorida.edu.

Event prizes on Saturday for closest-to-pin include awards of $750, $500, $250, and a Pro Shop gift card for the top four golfers closest to the hole who don’t make a hole-in-one.

All golfers are welcome. The cost is $10 for a bag of 10 balls and you can purchase an unlimited number of bags. If you qualify on the leaderboard and then get bumped off, you can come back and battle your way back until the close of qualifying rounds on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 4 p.m. We thank you for your support as this event benefits SFSC Athletics.
