      The Dolphin Bar And Shrimp House’s Golf Tournament


      Fundraiser Will Help Provide Thousands With Holiday Meals




         The first ever Dolphin Bar and Shrimp House Golf
      Tournament Fundraiser was a tremendous success that will
      help thousands of families who struggle with hunger enjoy a
      traditional holiday meal this year. All proceeds were donated
      to Treasure Coast Food Bank where they’ll be used to help
      provide more than 5,700 Treasure Coast families with all the
      fixings for a traditional holiday meal.
         Twenty teams braved a soggy afternoon to play in the
      sold-out tournament held on Oct. 26 at The Shores of
      North River Club in Stuart. The day ended with an awards
      ceremony, raffles and banquet at The Dolphin Bar and Shrimp
      House’s beautiful waterfront venue.
