As in-person fundraising events remain out of the question for many non-profits during the coronavirus pandemic, there is one safe alternative: golf tournaments. Golf tournaments were always a safe go-to vehicle for fundraising during normal times. But these are anything but normal.
Your Great Event has developed an enviable reputation as a golf tournament planning company. Over the last 25 years we have rolled out countless golf tournaments for our clients as fun and engaging events to support their fundraising goals. Among the many golf clubs we have been working with in Southern California are: Annandale, Brookside, Palos Verdes, Old Ranch Country Club, Lakeside and Wilshire Country Club. Golf tournaments strike many targets all at the same time: an opportunity for experts and novice to team up in support of the organization’s cause. Golf tournaments were often followed by a gala dinner to bring together golfers and nonplayers in a bash. They were also carried out often along with a silent and/or live auction to further support the cause.
As the pandemic hit, many organizations simply gave up on any in-person events including golf tournaments. This was folly as a viable and safe in-person event is ruled out hastily. As a recognized golf tournament planning company, during this pandemic Your Great Event has been helping many of our non-profit clients hold highly successful—and lucrative—golf tournaments with utmost attention to all CDC-prescribe health and safety measures and guidelines. In particular, there appears to be a pent-up desire by many to venture out. However, health and safety precautions prevail and participants reluctantly give up the desire.
As golf planning professionals for many years, we are hyper vigilant when it comes to protecting the health and safety of our clients and their guests. Consequently, we have developed a wide range of measures to ensure everyone’s safety while providing ample opportunity to have fun and support the client’s fundraising needs.
While the underlying principles of planning a golf tournament remain the same, the variables are quite different during a pandemic to provide the client with peace of mind and the participants the assurance that taking part in a fundraising gold tournament would not in any way expose them to health and safety risks.
To explore a golf tournament as an effective tool in your fundraising goals in a pandemic, call on the professionals at Your Great Event to help you with the step-by-step procedure to guarantee success in every respect and help you raise your organization’s profile in the process.
