Then, in one night, Red, White and Boom lights up the skies in and around Cape Coral. The party is one of the largest annual events in Southwest Florida. This year, more than 50,000 "guests" are expected to attend the fireworks and gastronomic celebration along Cape Coral Parkway.

"It's the single biggest one-day event in Southwest Florida," Bob Knickman said. "We're proud to be able to do that for so many people."

The Cape Coral Community Foundation will host its annual Cape Golf Classic on May 2 at the Palmetto Pines Country Club. The event is the foundation’s signature fund-raiser and helps with operating costs throughout the year.

Cape Coral, FL – The American Cancer Society’s Cape Coral Relay For Life event was held Friday and Saturday, April 4 & 5 at Mariner High School. Business partners Team Aubuchon and Storm Smart Industries worked together this year, to raise more than $10,000 to further the battle against this disease. The City of Cape Coral raised more than $140,000 for this cause.

The seventh annual Cape Coral Relay for Life is planned for April 4-5 at Mariner High School at the corner of Chiquita Boulevard and Tropicana Parkway.

For 18 hours, participants will walk around the high school’s track raising money to beat cancer. Relay for Life opens as cancer survivors or anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer walk or ride in a wheelchair for the first lap. Along with plenty of games and activities for children and live music, team members entertain each other with food, games and of course, making laps around the track.

Dear Friends:

Thank you for your support of our special Annual Fund Raising Event for the Harry Chapin Food Banks of Southwest Florida. This year, as always, the event included a silent auction that was generously supported by sponsors and bidders. The theme was casual, "An Evening in the Islands", and was blessed by a Florida downpour of rain to add a 'natural' feel to the occasion. As this was our 20th year celebration, recognition was paid to several people who gave the Food Bank its start.

The coming year will be tough, acknowledged a panel of experts in building, banking and property insurance Thursday night, but property tax and impact fee cuts and attracting major corporations to Florida could start to turn the situation around in the near future.

More than 100,000 people are expected to converge on downtown Cape Coral for the upcoming Cape Coral Festival of the Arts, where rows of booths will be set up displaying everything from photography and sculptures to original paintings and custom jewelry.
