Formed in 2014, The Island Men’s mission as a volunteer organization is to raise money that supports local charities and strengthen our community through the participation in local civic, educational, and athletic activities that enhance the quality of life in our community. We host many fun and entertaining annual events to raise money that we distribute to the local charities and children’s activities. Those events include: The Missed Pleasure Island Pageant, The Carolina Beach Dragon Boat Regatta, The Pleasure Island Mac & Cheese Festival, The Backyard BBQ Cook Off, The Island Men Scholarship Golf Tournament and the now famous Halloween Golf Cart Extravaganza.

In 2024, The Island Men Scholarship Fund was formed as a separate entity whose purpose is to promote and support learning, knowledge, and educational opportunities for individuals through fundraising activities. Its primary objectives include providing scholarships to students, access to educational resources, tools, and fostering academic and vocational development to empower individuals through educational opportunities. This year, The Island Men Scholarship Fund award at least five $2,500 scholarships to successful applicants to attend the community college, trade school or university of their choice.
