South Florida Fair Memorial Golf Tournament to Raise Educational Funds
Boca Raton, FL – The South Florida Fair’s John Picano, Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament is being held on Friday, May 20, at Eastpointe Country Club, 13535 Eastpointe Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens. All proceeds benefit the South Florida Fair Educational Fund. Registration and a continental breakfast will begin at 7:30 a.m. with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. An awards luncheon will follow.
The golf tournament is named in honor of the late John Picano, Jr., who served as the South Florida Fair’s public relations director for almost two decades. He was an avid golfer and was instrumental in the fair golf tournament’s growth and success. His memory lives on through this tournament, which provides scholarships to area students who might not otherwise be able to attend college.
