Bella Collina made significant news on the Orlando-area philanthropic scene in 2015 with the launch of its innovative community outreach program: GIVING BACK. The program provides meaningful support in a variety of unique ways to a growing number of Central Florida-based charitable organizations, including educational events for nonprofit leaders, golf tournament partnerships, discounts on charity events, free meeting space, donations for silent auctions and more. Continuing Bella Collina’s philanthropic momentum into 2016, the club’s ownership is now thrilled to make another significant impact towards one of Central Florida’s many worthy charitable organizations. “Central Florida has a real giving spirit,” said Paul Simonson, principal with DCS Investment Holdings, an affiliate of Bella Collina owner DCS Real Estate Investments, LLC. “Where there is need, a nonprofit organization usually forms around it -- supporting everything from poverty, healthcare, education, the arts and more. At Bella Collina, we see this first-hand with the many wonderful charities who trust us with their golf tournaments and fundraising galas. We enjoy giving back, and our latest philanthropic effort is yet another piece towards our long-term plan for Central Florida’s future.” For more information about the promotion please visit the web page or contact Paula Wyatt at PWyatt@BellaCollina.com.
