UPDATED: Looking for Volunteers & Performers!

Over on our Volunteer information page, we've listed when we'll need volunteers, what we'll need them to do, and how to get in touch with us if you're interested in volunteering. Here is some additional information about WHO we're looking for, and the people and groups that may want to consider becoming involved:

Sports Teams: we're looking for school-affilitted and community sports teams that may be willing to spend a Saturday helping us out. We promise to feed you!

Corporate Groups: we will offer a discounted rate on a Corporate Hole Sponsorship if you're company sends a group of employees out to volunteer on the day of the event!

College Sororities: many sororities require that their members fulfill volunteer requirements. This is a great opportunity for sororities from Syracuse University and other local colleges!

Church Groups: religious ed students (especially students who have to complete a certain number of volunteer hours prior to making their confirmation!) are welcome to spend the day with us!

Race for the Cure (R) Teams: do you plan on joining a team and participating in the CNY Race for the Cure (R) on May 14th? Why not get together with your team again in September and volunteer at our golf tournament?

Oncology Nurses/Cancer Treatment Teams: it would be incredible if we could get a group of local doctors and nurses who specialize in treating breast cancer patients to volunteer at the event!

Volunteer Duties:

• Assisting with organization and set-up on Friday, September 23rd (the day before the tournament). We'll only need a handful of volunteers for an hour or two the day before but any help will be appreciated!
• Setting up and decorating the clubhouse in preparation for the cocktail reception following the tournament on the day of the event.
• Placing hole sponsorship signs at various holes.
• Greeting golfers in the parking lot and transporting golf bags to designated carts.
• Working the registration table: checking golfers in, handing out necessary materials, selling 50/50 raffle tickets, accepting and logging donations, writing donation receipts, etc.
• Running the putting contest on the putting green.
• Organizing and setting up the prize table.
• Collecting and tallying score cards.
• Selling prize table tickets.

And probably other last-minute duties, too. Please note: only volunteers age 18 or older will be permitted to drive golf carts! 

Calling All Performers...

We are looking for a band to entertain golfers between the time that the tournament ends and the last golfer returns to the clubhouse and the beginning of the award ceremony - so approximately 30 to 45 minutes. We may ask the band to perform during the cocktail reception as well.

Please email nicchenet@gmail.com if you have a band of your own, or can suggest a great local band. We will provide lunch and a drink (non-alcoholic) for each volunteer, and will invite the band to have a drink and some light food after their performance. 

In other news...

The committee has been invited to go LIVE on air on the Jim Reith radio show on AM 570 WSYR and FM 106.9 in early September to promote the golf event! We'll post the date and time that we'll be on in September, so you can all turn up your radios and listen! 

Local support for our event has already been overwhelming - we can't wait to raise thousands of dollars, get in a great day of golf, and party on September 24th!
