As soon as the goblins, tricksters and witches disappear, thoughts turn to Thanksgiving, Christmas holid9th annual ladies cheers for charity raffleay parties and the Season of Giving.  Eagle Landing offers their residents several ways to make the holidays happier for Clay County children in need.

The fantastic ladies of our Soaring Eagles Club (50+) gather up donations from area business and annually host a raffle at The Landing Bar & Grill.  Last year’s highly successful event benefiting the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program raised over $11,000 and more donations than ever are on hand for this year’s raffle.  This is a Ladies Only event!

The 9th Annual “Cheers for Charity” is November 13th with prizes from Christoff Jewelers, Alhambra Dinner Theater, Eagle Harbor & Eagle Landing Golf, Epic Theaters, Trader Joes, Akaya, Dapper Dog – just to name a very small sample.  With over 60 retailers donating prizes, the odds are in your favor!

The Eagle Landing Golf Club joins the giving spirit by hosting the annual US Marine Corp’s “Toys for Tots” drive.  Staff Sargent Richard Cable oversees the Jacksonville area program.  Drop a new, unwrapped toy in the box located in the foyer of the newly renovated sports bar and dining room between the hours of 6am and 6pm.  Please note: Clothing, food or games that require a system are not accepted.  Toys for ages 2-12 are needed – especially for the age 10-12 group.
