“This year’s tournament was incredibly special,” said Meredith Egan, CEO of United Way of Indian River County. “Celebrating 40 years of this tradition alongside so many generous sponsors, volunteers, and community members was truly meaningful. We are so grateful to everyone who helped make the day a success.”
United Way also extended special thanks to Vero Beach Country Club and its staff for their hospitality and partnership in hosting this year’s event.
