On Saturday, October 18th, golfers took to the course at the Belleview Biltmore Golf Club in Belleair, Florida for the annual Friends of Raymond James Golf Tournament. Dimmitt Automotive Group is delighted to be apart of this great event. We support Friends of Raymond James and encourage everyone to get involved with this charity.

Friends of Raymond James has been assisting Raymond James associates in coping with unexpected hardships for nearly two decades – from helping with unforeseen medical expenses to covering housing costs after the sudden death of a spouse. Because our nonprofit organization is not affiliated with Raymond James or any of its subsidiaries, we rely on the generosity of private donors to help us provide relief for associates in need. 

In 2013, we assisted 23 individuals with contributions totaling over $92,000. Since we began our fundraising efforts in 1997, we have disbursed in excess of $700,000 to over 170 associates.
