Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

Brandywine Chapter’s 2nd annual Golf Classic

and Auction at Bidermann. We are excited

to continue this event as one of our

fund-raising efforts and promise to deliver

another memorable experience at one of the

region’s most prestigious golf courses.

Ducks Unlimited is the world leader in wetlands

conservation having restored and

conserved nearly 13 million acres of crucial

habitat that benefits waterfowl, other wildlife

and people. Through your generosity, the

money raised at the golf classic will directly

support wetland and marsh improvements

in the important summer breeding lands to

the North and the critical wintering grounds

here in the Mid-Atlantic. Generous support

for our local Ducks Unlimited chapters is the

reason that Delaware continues to be one

of the top ranked states in the country. In

all, over 12,000 acres have been conserved

within our State, ensuring healthy duck and

wildlife populations for future generations.

We hope that you’ll consider a sponsorship

for what is certain to be the golf event of

the season. By doing so, you’ll have the opportunity

to both participate in a great event

and support a great cause.

Sincerely,

Ducks Golf Classic Committee
