Get plaid! The 11th Annual Plaid Party to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation will be held at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday, May 11. The Plaid Party, which began as a small gathering of plaid-adorned young professionals held on the Friday evening of THE PLAYERS Championship weekend, has evolved into one of the most popular signature charity events in the region. Last year, participants raised more than $15,000 for CFF.

Tickets for the 11th Annual Plaid Party are $40 prior to the event or $50 at the door. Patrons will enjoy complimentary cocktails and beer while dancing the night away to DJs spinning the best music from all eras. A silent auction will include one-of-a kind items such as autographed Jaguars and Gators memorabilia, golf trips to Black Diamond Ranch and Shingle Creek, Jaguars ticket packages and more. VIP tables, which include 10 event tickets, bottle service, complimentary cocktails and a line pass, are available for $1,000. Silver, Gold, Diamond and “Plaid”inum level sponsorship opportunities are also available, and include VIP tables, sponsorship recognition on promotional material and at the event and ground passes to rounds of THE PLAYERS Championship.

The Sawgrass Marriott will provide valet parking during the event for $10, and half of each parking fee will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

This year, those that partake in too much plaid debauchery can imbibe in some hair of the dog at the day-after pool party. Guests are encouraged to sport a plaid bikini or swim trunks while lounging by the luxurious pool of the Sawgrass Marriott resort. Tickets are $40 in advance or $50 at the door, and include complimentary cocktails and Bloody Marys, all-day parking and a boat pass to the Tournament.
