Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in the 21st Annual Florida Classic Sponsored by Ford, AT&T, BB&T and Breakthru Beverage to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Set for November 18-19, 2016 in beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this exciting event features two days of fun-filled sporting and social events that attract prominent businesspeople, charitable benefactors, and sports enthusiasts from around South Florida and across the country.
Festivities commence Friday, November 18 with a top-notch golf tournament held at the exclusive Fort Lauderdale Country Club. Next is the sailfish tournament's Angler Welcome Party and Captains' Meeting, followed by a chic BeachBash known as the "sexiest party of the year", both held at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. Saturday, November 19 begins with a sailfish tournament and the tournament awards reception, and concludes with the dazzling 65 Roses Gala hosted at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort.
Since its inception 21 years ago, the Florida Classic has netted nearly $7.5 million to help support the CF Foundation's research and care programs leading to the development of new drug therapies and an increase in median life expectancy for CF patients.
We hope you will be able to join Honorary Chairman Ray Ferrero, our generous sponsors and dedicated volunteers for the 2016 event. It promises to be another terrific success!
