Following a scramble tournament, which was held on Tiburón's Gold Course, volunteers were invited to the clubhouse for an awards reception that included prizes, raffles and a special message from Greg Norman.

In keeping with the spirit of the Shootout and its contributions to children's charities, this was the third consecutive year that volunteers supported the local Toys For Tots campaign. Hundreds of toys were collected at Tiburon during the Play-Day and later donated to Toys For Tots.

"Each year we are impressed by the amount of community support and caring that surrounds this event," said Taylor Ives, Tournament Director of The Franklin Templeton Shootout. "Today's collection of toys is just another example of how our volunteers give of themselves to help those less fortunate, not only in our own backyard but across the country as well."

Thanks go to all of the dedicated volunteers that make the Shootout possible each year. Their support and contributions to the event allow the tournament to make a significant impact on a number of deserving charities.
