If you or your loved ones are avid golfers with a deep connection to a favorite course, there’s a unique way to leave a lasting mark. Consider incorporating a special request into your estate plan: donate a bench in your honor to your beloved course. ⛳ Imagine future golfers enjoying a moment of rest on a bench that carries your name, representing your passion and love for the game. It’s a simple yet meaningful gesture that keeps your memory alive on the greens you cherish. As you think about the legacy you want to leave behind, let’s explore how your estate plan can reflect the things you love most—including that perfect day on the course. 🏌

If you’ve ever explored any of CREW’s four trail systems, you'll likely have noticed the CREW Trail Sponsor signs. These signs are a tangible way for businesses to support CREW Trust’s trail maintenance mission while publicly acknowledging our commitment to the protection and stewardship mission of the entire 70,000 acres within the CREW Project boundaries. Around 90,000 people visit the CREW trails each year - each and every one of them pass by these signs. The annual CREW Trail Sponsorship campaign remains one of our most important fundraisers, and this year we’ve added an affordable opportunity for individuals and families to also show their support. For just $250, you can have yourself or family listed on six trailhead sponsor signs as a testament to your love of CREW. It also makes a great gift to someone you know who loves CREW as much as you do! New signs will go up on October 1st and remain in place through September 2025. We'd love to add you as a sponsor for the upcoming year, but time is running out to grab the few remaining spots! If you have any questions, reach out us at [email protected]! You may also grab your spot online at www.crewtrust.org/donate and select "sponsorship" under donation type! #wildlifeconservation #swfl #conservation #floridanature #floridawild #crewtrust #ConservationMatters #CREW #naturelovers #CollierCounty #leecountyflorida #environment #wetlands #bonitasprings #outdoor
