How To Make Your Charity Golf Tournament An Event Not To Miss
There Are 3 Ways To Tackle The Huge Undertaking Of A Charity Golf Tournament
1. Hire A Professional Charity Golf Fundraiser Company
There are many professional companies out there that can help you plan and organize golfing events. Using one of these companies will help you make sure that you do not overlook any details about the event as well as raise more money than you ever thought possible.
2. Take It All On Yourselves
This means that a) You have done this in the past or else know someone who has, and b) are well equipped with connections, possibly have a golf membership somewhere and have a lot of free time for tackling each detail involved.
3. Co-Coordinate Your Efforts
Being able to coordinate efforts with sponsors in all aspects of the event will ensure that you save time and money and get plenty of help and assistance on the way.
To make your charity golf tournament an unforgettable as well as profitable one, the secret is to be organized and plan, plan, plan. For example, you need to plan not only for the game itself, but also for food, entertainment and equipment. You’ll need to plan for parking, advertising and marketing and volunteers and so much more.
If you do decide to go with a charity golf fundraising company, you will ensure that you do not miss any of these little things that make planning golf tournament details such a challenge.
Other Things To Consider
Food
If the golf course you are using cannot give you a discount for your large group, find out if you are able to have outside catering. If so, you can make your event a potluck, barbeque or ask a catering company or restaurant if they would be interested in sponsoring the event in exchange for advertising.
Prizes
Besides raising money for a good cause, your players will likely want to play for prizes. Ask a couple Pro-golfers for autographs. Prizes can range from autographed jerseys, autographed balls, and autographed photos. You can ask the golf course for tickets to a game or even a prize package of sports merchandise. You can do the same thing with corporations. When you present corporations with a title sponsorship or hole sponsorship package include a prize in the presentation. Then even if they don’t purchase the complete sponsorship they can donate monogrammed materials. Ideally, you would want to add a prize per hole, an overall best score prize, longest drive and maybe even some fun prizes such as worst score and best golf outfit. By starting with these basic tips you’re sure to have a successful golf fundraiser that will be a joy to put on, instead of a hassel.
