Southwest Florida Rheem Team Celebrates 12 Years of Commitment to Rotary’s Scholar-Athlete Awards: Renews Title Sponsor Role
Fort Myers, FL, March 16, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Rotary Club of Fort Myers South is pleased to announce the Southwest Florida Rheem Team will proudly serve as the overall $10,000 Scholarship Sponsor for the 30th Annual Rotary South Scholar Athlete Banquet. This is the twelfth year the Southwest Florida Rheem Team has served as a major sponsor of the event and its sixth year as the overall Scholarship Sponsor. The scholarship program recognizes top athletes from area high schools based on athletic and academic achievement, along with strength of character.
“We are thrilled to once again hold the title sponsor role for the Rotary South Scholar Athlete Program,” said Charlie Costa, Secretary of Southwest Rheem Team. It’s been a valuable long-term partnership and an honor to be aligned with like-minded professionals, as well as such exemplary students.
Rotary Club of Fort Myers South will honor the 36 nominees and announce the scholarship recipients and other award winners at its Scholar-Athlete Awards banquet on May 11, 2016 at the Crowne Plaza in Fort Myers. The Southwest Florida Rheem Team will underwrite two $5,000 scholarships as the program’s Title Scholarship Sponsor. In addition to sponsoring the scholarships, the Rheem Team hosts an online Annual People’s Choice Scholar-Athlete Award, where the winner receives a prize.
The Southwest Florida Rheem Team was formed 15 years ago. In addition to maintaining the highest possible standard of technical expertise in their field, the seven member HVAC contractors work together to contribute to the local and global community. The support of the Scholar-Athlete Awards is only one of many valuable contributions these philanthropic service professionals make in Southwest Florida.
Rotary South Scholar-Athlete Awards Chairman said, “The Southwest Florida Rheem Team continues to be a great partner as the sponsor for the Scholar Athlete Banquet. Their efforts have made tremendous difference in the lives of Lee County’s best and brightest athlete-scholars. We are extremely appreciative of the support they have given to this program over the past twelve years.”
Eighteen Lee County-area high schools may each nominate one top male and female varsity letter winner who maintains a minimum 3.2 GPA, is involved in school and community activities and demonstrates leadership characteristics. A selection committee of Rotary South members interviews nominees and selects the winners.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available for the May 11 banquet, starting at just $100 to sponsor a scholar-athlete. For more information about the 30th Annual Rotary Club of Fort Myers South’s Scholar-Athlete Awards, contact Rob Scharlau at (239) 810-2554 or rob.scharlau@busey.com.
