Participating chefs and restaurants include Blu Sushi, Café Pignoli, Irresistible Confections, J. Bistro, Rumrunners, Run Agrounds, The Joint and Executive Chef J Catering Service (the culinary program from Cape Coral's Oasis Charter School).

Music will be provided by the North Fort Myers Academy for the Arts Steel Drum Group directed by Christina Moffat as well as well known local favorite Danny Morgan. The fun begins at 4:30pm and continues until dusk.
Jane Hudson, Chair of the event explains, "Charity events can become redundant and we wanted something new, fun and exciting. Fortunately, Cape Harbour stepped in and provided the perfect venue. The Symphony Society has never done an event like this and we felt that it would appeal to our membership and the community, regardless of age or musical preference. Please join us for the 1st Annual Yacht Hop."
Benefit sponsors include Arthur Printing; Galati Yacht Sales, LLC; the News-Press Media Group; Realmark Development, LLC; and silent auction sponsors including Cru, Diamond District, Tarpon Bay Lodge and Zak's Jewelers.

"THIRD ANNUAL DUKE WALK 2011" Saturday, April 23rd a fund raiser for Duke University Brain Tumor, at Cape Harbour. The Angels are still among us and progress is being made at the Duke University Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center.
As many of you know, Dave, the son of Buck and Maggie Robison, Cape Harbour residents, was diagnosed with an Oligodendioglioma brain tumor three years ago. The diagnosis from the biopsy was not very optimistic and Dave's wife, Toni, began a nationwide search for cutting edge treatment and discovered that Duke University leads the nation in brain tumor research, treatment and successful surgeries.
Dave's successful surgery was in September 2008 and to date he is still tumor free. Because we realize there is not yet a "cure", we hope you will participate this year in our fundraising efforts to help the over 43,000 people that are diagnosed with brain tumors each year.
Last year Cape Harbour raised over $15,000.00 which is just a small portion of the over $100,000 raised by the "Toni's Miracle Angels" team. The nationwide Angels Among Us campaign raised over $1.6 million.
Important highlights from progress this past year that would not have been possible without your support include faculty recruitment, purchase of equipment, new glioma treatment for children, vaccines that prolong life, and a focus on brain tumor genetics.
We will be distributing a flyer, going door to door in Cape Harbour over the next several weeks. We hope you will take a few moments to consider participation in our event. The cost is $25.00 per person and includes a T-shirt, breakfast and lunch. Participation in the Poker Walk is an additional $25.00. Registration for the Doggie Walk is $10.00. The events will include the following:
8:30 am Light breakfast Pavilion
9:00 am 5/K walk Gates 1-4
11:00 am Auction Pavilion
Noon Lunch Pavilion
For those people not interested in the walk, come and join us anyway. We will also accept monetary donations over and above the $25.00 and items suitable for our auctions. We would also encourage you to contact the people you do business with - restaurants, grocery stores, banks, cleaners, gyms, etc. for donations.
Sign up at "Sip 'n Dip" or send checks and T-shirt size to Maggie Robison, dsimaggie@aol.com, 5820 Harbour Preserve Circle, 239-549-540 or 515-707-0418.
