Our golf tournament went off without a hitch; we had good weather and a good time. We raised $1700.00 for our project. We had a ton of prizes donated by local businesses and sponsors for some of the holes, none of the prizes were paid for out of our own pockets which made things an even bigger success. We had 12 teams and they paid $50 per person, $27 of it went back to the golf course and we got the rest. We even did raffles for some other prizes, and a 50/50 to raise even more money.
There was actually a member of our group who had arranged this type of event before. He and another fellow from the group took full responsibility and the rest of us just filled in the gaps with providing what help they needed. He actually went to a local golf course in the town where the playspace is being built so we kept it all local and they worked out an agreement. We provided the golfers with prizes, food, water. Like I said we had alot of support from local businesses with donations of gift certificates and such, we only paid for the food out of our own pockets. Getting all the donations of prizes or food you can will help a great deal.
