Sponsors & More

I woke up to an inbox full of great emails today -

The first from Marc at Chemung Supply, who told me that they'll be sponsoring our beverage cart this year. How exciting is that? We did not have a beverage cart sponsor last year and so this is an excellent addition to the second annual event. Their company logo will be displayed on the beverage cart and at the reception following the tournament. For additional sponsorship opportunities, visit the Hole Sponsorship page.

I also received word from Don Higgins, the Highway Superintendent from Livingston County, that he and his family will be donating a piece of handmade pottery made by his wife or daughter for our Chinese Auction. I also have my talented co-worker, Amy TenEyck, working on a handmade piece of jewelry to be auctioned off - so far, our auction items are looking pretty good! I am so appreciative of any and all donations. The more items we have to auction off, the more money we will be able to raise.

In addition, the local territory rep from Dixon Golf contacted me with an offer that's almost too good to be true. They will be "sponsoring" our event and conducting the "Dixon Challenge" on one of the par 3 holes. More information to follow, but those who participate in the challenge will receive prizes, coupons, and more, and Dixon Golf will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the challenge to our cause. Stay tuned for more information about the Dixon Challenge, as well as the other mini-challenges we will be having at the event.

Please contact us with any questions you may have about the tournament in general, or regarding sponsorship opportunities.THANK YOU to those who have already donated and are willing to become sponors.

Almost a Month Away!

We're just about a month away from the golf tournament, and although registration has really just begun, I am hoping to generate as much buzz as possible about the event - we had less than 50 golfers last year - not too shabby for the first annual! - but obviously, the more golfers that we register this year, the more money we raise!

So, here's my list of top ten reasons why you should join us on September 22nd, a la Dave Letterman:

10.  It's an excellent excuse for guys to wear pink- no one can pick on you, because you're wearing pink for a good cause! 

9. You don't want to miss out on an opportunity to play at Radisson - one of the most challenging courses in CNY. It's also GORGEOUS in early Fall! 

8. There will be a big, cold keg of beer outside the clubhouse for your enjoyment - not to mention beer on ice inside during the reception. Beer, golf, and charity go great together! 

7. There will be goody bags for every participant - I've never met anyone who didn't like free stuff! 

6. We'll be serving delicious food - people raved about the menu last year! We're bringing back the marinated chicken skewers, the coconut shrimp, Mrs. Chenet's sugar cookies, and of course, the biggest  half-chocolate-half-vanilla cake you've ever laid eyes on, courtesy of Gloria Morey. 

5. $20 from your registration fee will go directly to Rally for the Cure (R), an off-shoot of Susan G. Komen for the Cure (R) - and all of our funds stay local, to benefit women and families here in Central NY. We raised $900 last year!

4. You'll be supporting the Traci Morey Zimmer Memorial Fund - to learn more about Traci, check out A Beautiful Life: Traci Morey Zimmer. 

3. One in 3 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer - by joining us on September 22nd, you will be showing our community that you are committed to raising awareness of this disease. 

2. It's an opportunity to celebrate women in your life - the women who have survived, and those who fought bravely with determination and grace but succumbed to the disease. To commemorate someone special in your life, please consider becoming a hole sponsor. 

...and the number one reason to join us on September 22nd?

1. Raising money for organizations like Rally for the Cure (R) and the Traci Morey Zimmer Memorial Fund have a direct impact on YOUR community - whether you're a woman living in Central NY who is dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis or you live in the Pulaski area and are able to see firsthand how funds raised in Traci's memory are enhancing the community, the money we raise on September 22nd stay local. Unlike a donation to a national organization, you'll actually be able to see and experience the impact that your registration fee will have in the CNY area. 

The goal this week is to encourage people to register! If you're interested, please go to our official event page to sign up. 

Remember: $100 for a day of golf + beer + finger foods at the reception + a free subscription to a Conde Nast magazine of your choice + a goody bag + the opportunity to win prizes/bid on awesome auction items! 

Next week - - > gathering items for our "Chinese Auction."

Sneak Peek...

Anyone recognize this guy?

It's Sione Pouha, #91, of the New York Jets! 

He was gracious enough to sign a football for our auction and take this photo.

Not to mention he was the kindest, funniest "celebrity" I've met. 

If you're a Jets fan (or an NFL fan in general!) you're going to want to bid on this football!

Other items for the Chinese Auction include a $25 gift card from Sweet On Chocolate in Armory Square and an awesome pair of ladies Ecco golf shoes, courtesy of Dr. & Mrs. Gregory Baum.

We absolutely need additional auction items so PLEASE contact us if you are willing to donate. 

See you soon, and don't forget to register!
