Our monthly Spotlight e-newsletter keeps you updated on organizational happenings, upcoming events and ways to get involved!

This month we want to start with a big thank you to those who helped make our Charity Golf Scramble a success. From golfers to sponsors to club staff and volunteers, we couldn’t have done it without you. In a single day, we generated more than $80,000 in net revenue. More than 200 individuals hit the green and even more joined us for the plated dinner and awards presentation.

Speaking of successful events, we also want to give a special shoutout to Russ and the Hot Dog Safari team for hosting an incredible event that raised more than $5,000 in support of our mission.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this unique fundraiser and helped put LuLu’s Kitchen on the map! We’re already looking forward to next year’s culinary creations.

Looking ahead, you’ll begin seeing our Summer Match Campaign roll out next month. Thanks to generous donors – including the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation and St. John’s Episcopal Church, among others – your gifts will be matched dollar for dollar, making your impact even greater.

Later this summer, we will host our triannual Justin’s Place graduation. We invite you to join us on July 16 as we celebrate individuals who have completed their yearlong journey in our recovery program.

Finally, if you’re passionate about Southwest Florida and want a career that makes a difference, we encourage you to visit the careers page on our website. We’re currently hiring for a variety of roles, including positions in marketing and sales, as well as drivers and warehouse team members.

Thank you for supporting St. Matthew’s House!
