Robin Evans, a sales rep with Sutton Group – Future Realty in Newmarket, Ont. is looking for sponsors for the 7th annual golf tournament benefiting War Amps and other charities. It will take place on Friday, June 3 at the Harbour View Golf & Country Club in Gilford.
The tournament has raised more than $100,000 for charity including $33,000 for War Amps. The 2015 event raised money for War Amps, the Bradford Food Bank and three local families with young children undergoing cancer treatments.
“This tournament is unique because the golf course is one of the best and the food is catered – it’s excellent,” says Evans. “This year, I’m also expecting to have approximately $8,000 worth of prizes.”
The event has typically had a $10,000 hole-in-one prize and some other large surprises. Robin personally donated a barbecue for the raffle at the 2015 tournament.
The fee for golf and dinner is $175 and a foursome is $700. Sponsorship opportunities begin at $250.
Evans says that sponsors are the key to making this event so successful. As a thank-you, he invites sponsors to join the tournament dinner and he takes out a full page advertisement in the local newspaper listing the names. Sponsors have ranged from individuals to major corporations.
To become a tournament sponsor, contact Robin Evans at 905-953-6200.
