13th Annual Cars on 5th Show
2017-02-11 10:00 - 16:00
Join us on Saturday, February 11, 2017, for the 13th annual Cars on 5th show!
The 2016 show broke all previous attendance records, with over 50,000 attendees viewing 550 private and dealer car entries displayed in historic downtown Naples. It is a rare collection of exotics and collector cars found in one location.
Cars on 5th provides critical financial backing for St. Matthew’s House, enabling us to help individuals escape poverty, homelessness and drug abuse. With an estimated attendance of 50,000 people, $130,000 was collected thanks to the hard work of our staff and volunteers.
In 2016 the show broke all previous attendance records. And with over 550 private entries and dealer cars displayed, rarely could such a superb collection of exotics and collector cars be found in one location.
Our sponsors include Ferrari of Tampa Bay, Seminole Casino Hotel, Naples Bentley-Porsche, Naples Motorsports, Blackhorse Motors, Fidelity Investments, Gulf Coast Motorworks and more. These dealers will once again bring a fine selection of exotic and classic cars, adding to the hundreds of enthusiast-owned entries that will fill Fifth Avenue in February.
And of course, over 100 Ferraris will be on display with a fine mix of vintage and current V-8s and V-12s from Maranello that are guaranteed to please the crowds. We expect to have several new 488GTBs and Spiders on display.
The British contingent will include Jaguar, Lotus, Triumph and the stately Bentleys. Porsches will be plentiful including some rare race cars. American cars will not be overshadowed, with over 60 Corvettes and other muscle cars expected.
The Mercato section of the show will be bigger than ever with a multitude of businesses. Artists, jewelers, and automotive services, and accessory suppliers will be on hand to serve the thousands of potential clients at the show.
At the end of the show, all car owners will start their engines at 4 PM sharp for a resounding drive-off.

20th Annual Dean Lind Memorial Golf-A-Thon
2017-05-05 06:30 - 20:00
About the Event
A fun packed day on the golf course just can’t be beat! The 20th Annual Dean Lind Golf-A-Thon at The Club at The Strand is a unique golf event to generate support and raise awareness for St. Matthew’s House. Similar to a walk-a-thon, where individuals obtain pledges for each mile they walk, Golf-A-Thon participants solicit pledges and donations from friends, colleagues and family members and then play as many holes of golf as possible!
This is a true Golf-A-Thon and most players play a minimum of 50 holes. Golfers help by soliciting sponsors for per hole pledges or flat pledges. We ask each golfer to raise a minimum of $1,000 to play in the event. It may sound like a daunting task but the team at St. Matthew’s House will make that easy to accomplish!

Venue
This year the Dean Lind Memorial Golf-A-Thon will be located at The Club at The Strand. Designed by renowned architect Gordon Lewis, The Club at The Strand is a beautiful and challenging 27 hole Championship golf course. For more information visit www.thestrandclub.com.
2017 Highlights
– Six hole-in-one competitions
– Online silent auction with fabulous items ranging from $10 -$10,000
Golf-A-Thon Features
– Each player gets a cart
– Play “ready” golf
– On the green, any putt inside one putter length is a “gimme”
– Golfers may hit multiple balls on Par 3’s, and each ball counts as one hole played
– Lost a ball? Out-of bounds? No worries! We provide free replacement balls!
– Contests and prizes throughout the day
– Complimentary snacks and beverage
