Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

October 22nd is the 7th Annual Arizona Myeloma Network/United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Charity Golf Tournament. Join local celebrities, (Kwamie Lassiter, Kevin McCabe, Russ Ortiz, Scott Hairston, and Butch Baird) and tee off for a chance to win $10,000 and other great prizes, while helping AzMN raise awareness for Myeloma. “It’s a fun event and we hope you will join our team,” says Kurt Riske, member of the AzMN Board of Directors and Brand Manager for Black Bear Diner and Smashburger.

Myeloma is a complex and often misdiagnosed bone marrow plasma cell cancer that attacks and destroys the bone. AzMN provides outreach events and educational programs for Myeloma patients, their families and caregivers. AzMN was formed after the founder’s husband was diagnosed with Myeloma. “We started AzMN to help others like us, who don’t know where to turn for help and information,” says Barbara Kavanagh, President and Founder. “Kurt Riske and the Black Bear Diner’s have been wonderful community partners…and truly inspire those of us who are ‘living’ with cancer.”

Participants wishing to register for the 7th Annual Arizona Myeloma Network/United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Charity Golf Tournament, or for more information on Myeloma and The Arizona Myeloma Network visit www.azmyelomanetwork.org.

Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Northwest Tucson area dance students to further their dance education and performing arts experience.

This four man scramble charity golf tournament features a raffle, silent auction, hole-in-one prizes and “golfer goodies” including food, cigars, and massages among other attractions at every other hole on the course. Entry fee includes a dinner and show that includes dance performances and comedy by emcee Judy MacDonald. The tournament is held at the lovely Omni Tucson National Resort and Spa. Luxurious guest rooms for golfers and spouses are available.

During the tourney we will have lots of contests to enter including a 5 card poker run. We will also have a catered lunch for family/friends to join after featuring a guest speaker of a child who was treated at St Jude Children’s Hospital and awesome raffle prizes!

In these difficult economic times, our mission to serve the community is more important now than ever before. Theta Phi Alpha and Premier Sponsor have partnered together to host the 1st Annual Tee Off with Theta Phi Charity Golf Tournament and Luncheon, benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Seeing a dire need to create an institution to help cure children with cancer and other terminal illnesses, the late entertainer, Danny Thomas, founded St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Since opening its doors in 1962, St. Jude has become known as one of the most trustworthy charities and one of the most formidable children’s research hospitals in the world.

Following Danny Thomas’ dream that ‘no child should die in the dawn of life,’ St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center that does not deny treatment due to a family’s inability to pay. No child is ever turned away because of financial reasons or lack of insurance. On average, over 5000 children visit the hospital each year and upwards of 200 children receive treatment every day.

Although 81 cents of every dollar goes directly to research, St. Jude still needs help. Theta Phi Alpha is committed to helping and we are asking for your support too. We are actively looking for sponsorships and donations to make our charity golf tournament a huge success for the children of St. Jude. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Sarah Friedman, Tournament Coordinator, at 561 459 0943 or via email at TPAPhilanthropy@gmail.com.

This championship 27-hole private golf course will provide all participants with a challenging round of golf. Just ask any of the folks who came out and joined us last year — not only does this event provide you with a great golf game, it also provides plenty of opportunity for comaraderie, networking, and a whole lot of fun!

Registration is limited to 144 players and includes range balls, green fees, cart, breakfast, and awards luncheon! Many sponsorship opportunities available. Register by September 30 and receive a discounted rate!

It’s hard to believe that 11 years ago the Los Angeles & Southern California Claims Team from Farmers Insurance founded this tournament. We are grateful for the ongoing support from Farmers Insurance and are pleased to announce that Farmers Insurance will again be the event’s Title Sponsor.

We are returning to Robinson Ranch in Santa Clarita and will utilize both 18-hole golf courses. As always, each course will host a variety of contests and activities. After golf, participants will have the opportunity to win great chance drawing prizes and auction items at our dinner and awards banquet.

Of course, events like this can’t happen without your generosity. We hope you will be able to join us Friday, October 22nd and invite you to consider the different ways you might offer your support. Your company can participate at various giving levels, with attractive benefits at each. Enclosed is a sponsorship form that explains the sponsorship levels in more detail.

If you are able to respond by August 15th, we will be able to give you recognition in the invitation that will be sent out at the end of August.
