The Conservancy & Community Trust of South Gulf Cove, (CCT) is a 501c3, non-profit corporation established in 2003. The CCT belongs to the residents of South Gulf Cove. Our goal when it was established was to sponsor, support & incorporate our local community improvement programs that benefited our neighborhood and preserved the environment. Through the years, we have branched out to assist other charities surrounding the community and lend a hand where we can. We acquire funds through grants, fundraising and donations.
We have several programs sponsored by CCT that benefit the community and we host several fundraisers for our local charities in our community.
CCT fundraisers include:
- Visani Comedy Club fundraiser
- Annual golf tournaments
- Veterans/Military Fundraisers
- Bingo Fundaisers
- Englewood Helping Hands Food Drives
- The Furry Scurry: Our 5th Annual 5K is scheduled for February 1st 2025
- Angel Wish Program
The programs under the CCT umbrella:
- Care Committee
- Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) which is dedicated to our surrounding area and is trained alongside the county rescue teams.
- Angel Wish Committee
All donations made to these programs are tax deductible.
These fundraisers help make it possible for CCT to assist in the following areas:
- Food pantries
- Animal shelters and rescues
- Our ongoing scholarship programs for SGC High School seniors
- Maintaining our lending library
- Decorating our 4 entrances of the community for Christmas
- Printing of our SGC Neighborhood Newsletter twice a year
The CCT is also responsible for chairing our community blood drives with One Blood. We currently have Blood Drives scheduled through December 2024. Click here to schedule an appointment for our latest drive.
