Wickets & Wine is our premier fund-raising event. Sponsors and other guests enjoy a lovely afternoon on the lawn, beneath the palms at the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club. Guests play friendly games of croquet under the guidance of court hosts -- no expertise required. An English buffet is offered an elegant lunch to be enjoyed at tables under umbrellas on the lawn. A Silent Auction attracts enthusiastic bids, artwork, and nights out at some of Naples’ most exclusive restaurants and hotels. All proceeds from sponsorships, tickets, 50-50 drawing, Silent Auction and Master of the Mallet competition benefited the Mental Health Association of Southwest Florida (MHASWFL).

WE NEED SPONSORS
The MHASWFL needs your financial support to keep our programs serving this community. Children who need psychological counseling can receive it because of your support. Seniors can benefit from a relationship with a Peer Counselor to provide emotional support and guidance through some of the difficult times, such as the death of a spouse, or diminishing mobility due to poor health.

Call 239-261-5405 or email mandrews@mhaswfl.org any questions
We will greatly appreciate your support of the work of the Association.

CASUAL CROQUET
The croquet we play at Wickets & Wine is strictly for fun. But that doesn’t mean that some people don’t take their competitive instincts to the grassy courts. Some golfers even find the large wooden ball and large wooden mallet an easy transition to make. Some of Naples’ true croquet aficionados and players also turn out to share their love of the game -- and sometimes to show us how it’s really done!

You don’t have to know how to play croquet to join in our games. A Court Host will demonstrate techniques and offer you play-by-play advice on strategy.

MASTER OF THE MALLET
This is to croquet what the putting contest is to golf. It’s a test of accuracy, getting the most balls through the wickets. The winner walks away with a great prize.
