The R.O.M.E.O.S are a group of men that want badly to make a difference in our youth. So, they talk about it, while they eat and golf…and they raise an incredible amount of money for a bunch of old guys!
They send 50 children to summer camp, each summer, at the Christian Church Conference Center in Silver Springs
They contribute sporting equipment to the before-school Physical-Education program at Wildwood Elementary School
They give two major scholarships to students going to college, and graduating from Wildwood High School, each year.
They give generously to Project Legacy which helps programs and children in need in the Lake and Sumter County area.
The astounding thing about this organization is that 99.6% of the proceeds from all of their fundraising goes to the programs and the children they support. There is barely any overhead – these men just want to make a difference! Well, the R.O.M.E.O.S are going to continue to make a difference, again in 2016, by sending some lucky couple to Cooperstown on a 9-day vacation – with the chance to see literally ALL the village of Cooperstown has to offer. For only $10. How can you buy a raffle ticket and support this campaign, hopefully landing you on a vacation of a lifetime?
