International Gator Day 2009 was a success
We participated in two different projects this year. On May 16th, we volunteered at Freedom Park performing minor landscaping. On May 30th, we volunteered at Charlotte Emergency Housing doing some yard work, painting, and organizing some of the the storage closets.
It's great to be a Gator!
Annual Scholarship Award
Each year the club awards scholarships to deserving students from our community. These awards are funded through various activities throughout the year, such as Touchdown Bucket raffles during football games and the sale of Club T-shirts. We urge all Charlotte Gator Club members to contribute to the scholarship fund and help us support our local University of Florida students. If you'd like to contribute a tax-deductible donation to our Fund, please contact us at charlottegatorclub@yahoo.com. Thank you!
The club awarded $3250 in scholarships for the Spring 2010 semester.
Congratulations to our scholarship winners for the Spring of 2010!
