Aqua Sponsors The Bob Rizi Memorial Golf Classic

At Aqua Plumbing & Air, we've called the Sarasota–Bradenton area home since 1974. Over five decades of serving our neighbors has taught us something simple: a community is only as strong as the people who show up for one another. That's why we're proud to once again support the Bob Rizi Memorial Golf Classic, benefiting Suncoast Charities for Children.

A Tournament With Heart

The Bob Rizi Memorial Golf Classic teed off Friday, June 12th, at IMG Academy Golf Club as part of the annual Suncoast Summer Fest. This iconic tournament is held in loving memory of Bob Rizi, a long-time board member of Suncoast Charities for Children and a strong supporter of special needs children, teens, and adults.

It was a day of friendly competition on the green, but the real winners are the local families who depend on the programs this event helps fund. Registration included lunch, a goodie bag for each player, two golf carts per foursome, a tee sign, and a post-tournament reception — a full day of camaraderie for a cause that matters.

Why This Cause Matters to Us

Suncoast Charities for Children does extraordinary work close to home. The organization provides financial support to local non-profits offering critical programs and services to children, teens, and adults with special needs and their families throughout the Sarasota, Manatee, DeSoto, and Charlotte County areas. These are our neighbors, and the therapies and services funded through events like this one — speech, occupational, physical, and aquatic therapy among them — change lives every day.

The impact is real and measurable. In a recent year, Suncoast Summer Fest raised $154,000 for Suncoast Charities for Children. Every foursome, every tee sign, and every sponsor adds up to meaningful support during the slower summer months when fundraising is most needed.

Community Is in Our DNA

Supporting causes like the Bob Rizi Memorial Golf Classic isn't a one-time gesture for us — it's who we are. As a locally owned, family-run company led by owners Skip and Chuck, we live and work in the same neighborhoods we serve. When we're not keeping Sarasota homes comfortable with plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and water treatment service, you'll often find our team volunteering and backing the organizations that make this region a wonderful place to call home.

We believe that giving back is part of being a good neighbor, and we're honored to stand alongside Suncoast Charities for Children in their mission.

How You Can Help

Want to join the effort? While foursomes for the tournament fill quickly, you can still support the event by sponsoring a tee sign. Visit Suncoast Charities for Children to learn more about sponsorship opportunities and how your contribution makes a difference for local children and families.

From all of us at Aqua Plumbing & Air — thank you for being the kind of community that shows up. We're proud to be your neighbors.
