Minneapolis Charity Fundraiser Tournament

[jrichards]

My family runs two non-profit organizations. One that benefits families with Autistic Children. The other that benefits Military Veterans, and families who have lost a child to SIDS.

 

We are holding our second annual Minnesota Drive for Awareness on September 27th at Heritage Links in Lakeville. We are looking for golfers, sponsors, and donations to help us raise money to benefit families in the Twin Cities.

 

Here is the outing invitation / sponsorship form. Let me know if you have any questions!

Let me know if you need those printed for dirt cheap (including the signs / banners, etc) . I work as a graphic designer in Edina and can get those done for you, we love helping no-profit events (esp for a fellow WRXer)

Thanks for the offer. We already had the invitations printed - but we have not had the signs / banners printed yet. Will reach back out once we're ready to get those printed.

Hoping for some golfers / sponsors from the WRXers. We're going to have a couple kegs out on the course with free beer. We'll have a silent auction, split the pot, and all sorts of games, contests, and prizes. It's sure to be a good time!

I thought I'd circle back around and give this thread another bump. We still have spots open for our Charity Golf Outing benefiting Twin Cities Military Veterans and families with Autistic Children, or who have lost a child to SIDS.

The cost is $100 per golfer, which includes:
- 18 hole scramble golf outing with cart
- Dinner
- Swag Bag
- Free Beer* (we'll have at least three kegs out on the course giving away free beer to those over 21).
- Access to Silent Auction (By the Yard Furniture, Restaurant Gift Cards, Spas, Paintball, Minnetonka Moccasins, and more!)

If there is something else we can do to help make this outing more enticing - please let me know!

Our goal is to raise $10,000 - but we can't do it without WRXers support!

Here's a new flyer that outlines what's included in your registration fee - and lists some of the items in our Silent Auction.

What would you charge for standard hole sponsorship signs?
