The well-known and record-setting home tour and signature fundraiser for the Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva and the Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida, held annually in March since 2002.
For 19 years, the Zonta Club of Sanibel-Captiva was proud to present “Peek at the Unique,” the annual home tour of extraordinary homes on Sanibel and Captiva islands. You may have supported the tour and other events during those years, and we thank you for your generous support.
The pandemic forced a hiatus for the tour in March 2020, and since then Zonta has created several alternatives to continue raising money for causes that improve women’s lives. The original “Peek” enabled us to distribute over $1.1 million to area non-profits whose mission mirrors Zonta’s own—empowering women.
Our new concept for 2022 is “Peek at the Unique Home Trends,” set for Saturday, March 19 at the Sanibel Community House.
Special thanks to the many sponsors and supporters who have helped us raise over $1 million for community non-profits via the “Peek at the Unique.”
They say it “takes a village”. That is most certainly the case with Zonta San-Cap’s fundraising efforts, where each and every member of our club works tirelessly to raise money in support of empowering women.
Proceeds from our annual fundraiser are distributed through the Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida to organizations that work to improve the lives of women and girls.

All of us at Zonta San-Cap are extremely grateful for the many sponsors and supporters who have helped us raise over $1 million for these important community non-profits over the past 20 years.
