Each year, The Sophisticated Gents of Florida partner with the African American Club of The Villages to raise money to support our Scholarship Initiative. Scholarships are awarded to selected high school seniors from Sumter, Marion and Lake County who pursue higher education after graduation from high school. Most of the scholarship recipients are from low income families, and the overwhelming majority are first generation in their families to go to college.

All of the money raised come from donations from members of both organizations and our business and community partners, and from the net proceeds from our annual signature event, the Friendship Golf Tournament.  This year’s Friendship Golf Tournament is scheduled for October 19, 2022.  I know many of you are looking forward to participating in this annual event, but keep in mind the tournament is but one piece of an over-arching scholarship fund-raising initiative. 

To donate and become a sponsor to the Scholarship Initiative, complete the form below and click "Pay" when you're ready to be taken to our secure online payment gateway for payment. We now provide you an option to specifically direct how you want your donation to be applied, since we engage in activities which range beyond our schloarship program. That's all there is to it! 

501(c)(3) organizations, your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law, and you will receive a receipt for your records. You may pay online using our secure online payment gateway or you may send a check payable to The Sophisticated Gents Of Florida. Please mail to P.O. Box #157 Lady Lake, Florida 32158-0157
