Thanks for a great Celebrity Waiters Luncheon & Auction!!
Luncheon attendees got to meet local and regional celebrities up close and in a lighthearted, personal setting as the celebrities were their unskilled but always accommodating waiters for the luncheon. The assortment of celebrity waiters was, as usual, unpredictably entertaining. Highlights included several singing candidates and students, Sheriff Mike Scott easily completing 50 pushups to raise an extra $250, Barron Cohen getting a pie in the face, and a somewhat disturbing impromptu Macarena challenge involving Chamber President Jarrod Cantrell - all in the good natured attempt to raise funds for students education!
This year's presenting sponsor was Gulf Coast Coin & Jewelry,LLC. The event featured both a live and silent auction, with valuable and exciting items donated by area businesses. Diamonds and rubies and gold, oh my! Thousands of dollars worth were provided and auctioned by Gulf Coast Coin & Jewelry, with proceeds donated to the cause. Thanks for your great support!
The Celebrity Waiters Fundraising Luncheon is the North Fort Myers Chambers most anticipated community event as well as its largest fundraiser. Proceeds benefit the NFMCC education scholarships program and Chamber efforts within the community.
