The Coharbor Cares Bracket Challenge is our annual community tournament designed to spotlight organizations making a real impact in Southwest Florida.
Through public nominations and open voting, 16 local nonprofits, businesses, and charities compete head-to-head for a $1,000 donated service award from Coharbor Electric. Each weekly voting round determines who advances until one champion remains.
This campaign brings our community together, raises awareness for important local causes, and gives Southwest Florida residents a chance to support organizations they care about — one vote at a time.
Nominate a local business, nonprofit, school, or charity that’s making a difference in Southwest Florida. Tell us who deserves a chance to win $1,000 in donated electrical services from Coharbor Electric.
Cast your vote and help your favorite organization advance in the Coharbor Cares Bracket Challenge. One vote per person, per round.
A winner will be announced on February 17. Stay tuned as we reveal this year’s Coharbor Cares Community Champion!
