Lightbridge Academy's Successful Golf Outing

The Second Annual Lightbridge Academy Golf Outing, held in Port St. Lucie, Florida, was a resounding success, raising an impressive $30,000 for the Lightbridge Foundation, which works tirelessly to support families, children, educators, and franchise owners in need. The event was designed to not only promote golf as a sport but also to foster a sense of community and philanthropy among all participants.

Hosted by prominent franchise owners Al Ferrari from Port St. Lucie and Mark Mathias from New York, the outing attracted 56 passionate golfers who enjoyed a day filled with sport and goodwill. The funds generated from sponsorships, golfer entry fees, and on-site fundraising efforts will directly fortify the initiatives undertaken by the Lightbridge Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that functions to enhance the educational and developmental prospects of children and families.

Since its inception in 2001, the Lightbridge Foundation has made significant strides in fundraising, accumulating over $1.9 million to support various meaningful causes and individuals facing hardships. This vital work invites participation from parents, children, and educators, encouraging them to engage in philanthropic activities that instill values of kindness and compassion from a young age.

Audrey Feci, the Executive Director of the Lightbridge Foundation, expressed her gratitude toward everyone who contributed to the event, stating, "The Lightbridge Foundation reflects the strength of our community and our commitment to showing up for one another when it matters most. The funds raised through this year's golf outing will help advance the Foundation's work and provide meaningful support to those who make our network so special."

The Lightbridge Foundation’s mission is clear: it aims to champion the health, education, and well-being of children and families while also bolstering the staff and franchise owners of the Lightbridge Academy network. The planned funds from this year’s event will be earmarked for various initiatives that assist families and individuals within their reach during critical times.

In recognizing the success of this year’s outing, the Lightbridge Academy community looks forward to hosting a third annual golf outing in Fall 2027. Details surrounding this future event are yet to be announced, but there’s already much excitement brewing within the community.
