About the IYC Charity Cup

The Isles Yacht Club (IYC) Charity Cup is a series of exciting activities and events designed to raise money to support charitable organizations in our local community. These events elicit the largest participation of our 900 members each year. Since 2003, IYC members have raised and donated over $825,000 for charity. Proceeds from fundraising events will benefit three pre-chosen charities in Charlotte County.

Let's Make a Difference Together!

The IYC Charity Cup, hosted by Isles Yacht Club (IYC), through a set of competitive and social events, raises funds to support local community needs. Through IYC members, the public and local sponsors raise funds to support some of the most vulnerable in our local community. The proceeds of the IYC Charity Cup will be shared equally by three local organizations.

Since 2003, IYC has raised and donated $825,000 to worthy causes. In recent years, the Club has raised over $300,000. The IYC Charity Cup Series, ranging from tennis, bocce, billiards tournaments, table games, and a poker run, to name just a few, kicks off in the Fall. The fundraising season will culminate from then through March, ending with a Sailing Regatta and Celebration & Awards Dinner.
