Putting together a golf outing as fundraiser for the first time, was wondering if anyone else has doneso and was it successful. Also how did you go about getting hole sponsers and any other sponsers?

5000.00 - 7000.00 per year after we got it set up.
ask face to face. Businesses are more willing to help when they can put a face with a name, rather than responding to a letter.

We ran one for the first time last year as an athletic fundraiser (not just football) We're a small school so we had everyone working. We went to all the businesses and were able to get end of day gifts for the top 5 teams and hole sponsors for every hole. We played at a very nice golf course that people like to play at and advertised in the local paper of a big city near us. We charged a flat rate for the round of golf which included a gift bag for every participant and we fed them a good meal that was donated by a sponsor. One of the things we did was emphsize that all fees and donations were tax deductible. It was so successful that this year we are having 2 rounds. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. It's a lot of work for all the coaches but the payoff is great!

We are a 3A private school. We have raised 30,000 (avg) on our golf tournament each summer. We normally have more than one sponsor per hole. You could include it in a package. Ex: The gold package would include a hole sponsorship, season tickets to all home football games, advertisement in the football program, etc. We have some holes where we have people stationed to collect money for different competitions (good extra money fundraiser). We usually have two flights (morning and afternoon flight). We provided a lunch for both flights and give out door prizes during that time. We usually try to have the door prizes donated if possible. We have a highlight CD of the previous football season which might include clips from a spring game that is played on repeat in the clubhouse throughout the day. We also place a sign in the club house which includes the names of the businesses and families that have donated to the program in some way. Hope this helps.
