Launched Oct. 10, the matching and fundraising program offered financial support to the Cape Coral Caring Center through a donation match up to $25,000 and a limited-edition Mercury Racing Hurricane Ian relief T-shirt sale benefitting the charitable efforts of the Fort Myers Offshore Club.
“As news spread of our donation match, Nor-Tech Boats — one of our boatbuilder partners that is based in Cape Coral — stepped in and also offered to match up to $25,000 in donations made to the Cape Coral Caring Center,” Mercury Racing general manager Stuart Haley said in a statement. “From there, a group of Nor-Tech’s business connections made additional contributions. We were able to work together to double the match and double the impact for a community that continues to pick up the pieces after Ian’s destruction.”
With additional matches from Nor-Tech and donations from dealers, $114,983 was raised to benefit the Cape Coral Caring Center.
The non-profit center provides year-round emergency food services and assists those in need during economic and emergency situations.
