Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

What is Academic Decathlon?

Academic Decathlon is an an elite high school competition that includes a battery of ten tests: mathematics, economics, history, science, essay, interview, speech, art, music, and literature. Unlike other academic programs, Academic Decathlon teams are made up of A, B, and C students. The goal is provide a more holistic and advanced academic competition and to recognize students who push themselves far past the standard curriculum.

Where does this money go?

The money raised goes towards buying studying materials, books, quizzes, tests, food, transportation, and paying for registration fees for competitions.

What is the course like?

Diamond Oaks Country Club’s 18-hole championship golf course is one of the best layouts in the area. The course features a creek that meanders throughout the property and comes into play on six holes. Strategic bunkering and 100-year old oak tree lined fairways provide aesthetic beauty for members and guests. The golf course is named after a 150-year old Oak Tree that still resides on hole number 15.

Latinas Leading Tomorrow (LLT) is a school based after school program established in 2004 in Arlington, Virginia. It was disigned to meet the students’ need to have a program that spoke to their particular concerns of young Latinas who are possibly the first in their families to attend college and may not have the support and knowledge of how to get there and graduate.

Since 2004 the program has expanded to include all of Arlington’s comprehensive high schools as well as most middle schools in the county.In 2010 LLT expanded to include two chapters in Fairfax County and three chapters in Manor, Texas.

LLT now serves over 300 students per year. Program alumni currently attend a variety of universities, including James Madison, George Mason, Mary Washington, Virginia Tech, Penn State, Marymount, Carnegie Mellon and Richmond University. These students return during their breaks to share their experiences with current LLT students. LLT is proud to have one of the founding high school students on its advisory board and assist in the coordination of LLT’s annual Latina power conference.

About the Charity
Homes with Hope, Inc. is a private, non-profit Child-Placing Agency for children in foster/adoptive care founded in 2003. It’s mission is to restore abandoned, abused or neglected children by establishing them in a community of Christ-centered families, in relationship with the local church, who will care for these children through foster care and adoption.

About the Tournament
This is the 8th annual tournament for Homes with Hope. It has a loyal following of golfers with over 30% particpating in four or more tournaments. Matt Musil KHOU sports reporter has participated in all eight tournaments.

As a student of the Program for Excellence in Selling at the University of Houston, one of our main objectives as students is to find participants and sponsorships for our semi-annual golf tournament. It will be held at Kingwood Country Club on Monday, October 31, 2011

The event will aid with the cultivation of skills for the best and brightest talent being introduced into the sales market. It is a wonderful networking event as many prominent companies in the area are annual participants and sponsors of the Program.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. If you are interested in participating in this event, please contact me at your earliest convenience. I will be more than happy to further assist you.

A Place of HOPE is a charitable healthcare clinic & an emotional trauma center in the Highland Lakes area to assist those who are lacking in health insurance or financial ability to seek medical or emotional help. We are a life line of restoration and support to those who have found themselves in temporary need of medical or emotional help without the ability to pay for these services through no fault of their own.

Our medical clinic offers routine checkups and also sees patients who need prescriptions and who no longer can afford to go to their previous physicians due to their temporary financial situation. We have our own Medical Room staffed with Pharmacists who volunteer their time. Our Medical Assistance Program is designed to help patients who need assistance with their prescription drugs.

On Saturday, October 1st Doc Avery will host the 1st Annual Halloween Golf Tournament at the Avery Ranch Golf Course. Combined proceeds in the Fall from the Golf Tournament and the Haunted House will benefit the Capital Area Food Bank and other selected charities. Hope to see you there !

Doc Avery Charity website: http://www.docaveryshauntedhouse.com/index.html

After operating Doc Avery’s Haunted House as a family fund raiser for six years, it was apparent that expanding our reach required legally taking the next step. In 2010, Doc Avery Charities (DAC) was incorporated as a tax exempt and IRS recognized 501(c)3. Under this designation DAC can solicit sponsors, provide tax documentation for donations, and conduct fund raisers year round.

The “Scramble for the Kids” is an event to raise funds for Brookhaven Youth Ranch to build a new cottage on campus. The cottage would enable Brookhaven Youth Ranch to house more young men and work with them in order to build young men into Great Men! All proceeds will go towards the building of this new cottage.

The Scramble starts at 8:30 AM with a shotgun start. Included in the price of entry is Range Balls before the event, cart, green fees and the burgers and hot dogs dinner after the tournament. Other available items includes the purchase of “Mulligans”, Raffle Tickets for prizes to be awarded after the dinner, Event T-shirts, and Sponsorships for each of the holes. You can also sign up for a chance to win $10,000 if you make a Hole-In-One at number 15!!

Sign up today! The cost is $80 per person if you sign up before October 15th and $100 per person after October 15th!

Help Brookhaven expand its ability to work with young men by adding this much needed cottage!

The TPC San Antonio event costs $400 to enter per two-person team ($200pp). This includes the golf, cart, lunch and tournament gifts. Participants will be competing for the chance to qualify for the Grand Finale which will be hosted by Ernie Els in Las Vegas on 23/24 October. Grand Finale prizes include luxury trips to South Africa, South America and England courtesy of Mantis and sets of Callaway golf clubs complete with bag and customized fitting.
There are three ways for a team competing in a Super Regional event to make it the final – be the low net winner, the highest fundraiser or raise $10,000 more and automatically qualify. Once teams sign up they are given a dedicated team webpage to personalize and send out to friends, co-workers etc…to ask them to sponsor their team. Essentially teams start competing the minute they sign up! Whilst fundraising is encouraged it is not a prerequisite of taking part. As a fun incentive, teams raising $2,500 or more will be automatically entered into the Fundraisers’ Prize Draw for a chance to win a 7-day ultimate IRISH LINKS golf tour to Ireland.

Proceeds from the Golf Challenge will go towards creating the Els Center of Excellence that will reach out to help children on the autism spectrum across the U.S and internationally.

Latinas are the fastest growing group of female school aged youth

Many of our young Latinas lack education and career role models among their family and peers to help them set goals

Latinas have the highest female high school dropout rate (42%)

Latinas have the highest teen pregnancy rates of any racial or ethnic group

Young Latinas hold the highest rates of attempted suicide

The devastating results of these statistics are too much to ignore. Latinas Leading Tomorrow (LLT), a school based mentoring and leadership program which aims to inspire young women into leadership roles and eradicate achievement gaps, was created to change these statistics.

Our program uses leadership training, mentoring, career presentations and cultural identity activities to excite young women into success driven mindsets. They are encouraged to reach their goals and to believe in their strengths as Latinas. LLT serves 14 schools in Virginia and three in our state of Texas. LLT’s target populations are Latina students in middle and high school who are the first in their families planning to attend college in the U.S.

On March 12, 2011, LLT will hold its “Swinging for Education” Golf Tournament at Spicewood Course at Balcones Country Club. The “Swinging for Education” Golf Tournament will benefit our educational, leadership and community service programs.

We are asking for donations for our goody bags, door prizes for our raffle, longest drive and closest to the pin contest. You may also be an Albatross Sponsor for $2,000, Eagle Sponsor for $1,500, Birdie Sponsor for $750 and a Tee Box Sponsor for $75. Your donation is tax deductible (74-6003097). Anything you or your company can contribute would be greatly appreciated. We anticipate approximately 80 participants. The golf tournament is open to all golfers.

The Latinas Leading Tomorrow at Manor ISD currently has 45 members, sustains a club GPA above a 3.4 and has completed over 400 volunteer hours collectively this school year so far. This is what we strive for … will you or your company help us? Your investment in our students’ futures will yield priceless returns!

Check-in at 7:00 am, Shotgun Start at 8:00am. Breakfast will be provided by Plantation Golf Club, and On The Border will be providing a wonderful lunch! You can take part by generously donating for our raffle prizes, becoming a Sponsor, or by golfing.

“Nestled among the rolling hills of North Central Texas is a 38-acre haven for abused and abandoned dogs. As close to heaven as they will ever be this side of the Rainbow Bridge is a special place known as: Animal Angels Sanctuary”

Funds raised will go towards Animal Angels Rescue and Sanctuary, a wonderful charity, located in Jacksboro, Texas. Your generous donation will be used to help fund our important programs for the animals. These include spay and neuter procedures for every single one of our animals, micro chipping to ensure identification, providing food, vaccinations, medicine and surgeries for more than 300 animals we assist daily. Some of these, mostly large breed dogs, are available for adoption, others find a safe haven here for life.

As we prepare for our 5th Annual PartnershipsInAction Charity Golf Tournament and Awards Dinner, to be held at the Canyon Springs Golf Club, located in North Central San Antonio, on October 3rd, we are seeking corporate sponsors to support us. We are confident that this will be a worthwhile opportunity for you to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. We hope that you, too, will be just as inspired as others and consider joining us to be part of the solution to ending global poverty.

PartnershipsInAction Walks and Golf Tournaments, which are held in major cities across the USA, give Americans an opportunity to actively take part in advancing human dignity and peace around the globe and have raised over $42 million since 1995. AKF USA is registered as a publicly supported charitable organization under IRS code 501(c)(3) and 100% of the donations from the Walk and all net proceeds from the Golf Tournaments go directly to help fund AKF programs that create hope and opportunity in poverty stricken communities. Our Tax ID is # 52-1231983. In addition, funds contributed to Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A. are multiplied up to 6 times because of the Foundation’s ability to obtain matching grants from other agencies, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development.

When Hope’s Door first opened its doors in 1986, the agency operated a 24-hour crisis line, but did not have the space to provide shelter. Clients were housed at local hotels. In 1989, the agency opened its own shelter and began providing temporary housing to victims of domestic abuse. Since 1989, Hope’s Door has provided safe shelter for over 3,787 women and their children, and answered over 16,000 crisis line calls.

We are very excited about our event this year and hope that it is a success.

This year’s tournament is a 4-person scramble. You will enjoy breakfast before the tournament, exciting contests before and during play with a catered lunch and awards program following the tournament. Not only will your participation help broken children rebuild their lives, you will have a chance to win great prizes and earn bragging rights as the winner of the 2011 Central Texas Open.

Register now so you can tee up to help kids!

The goal of the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) at Carl Wunsche Sr. High School is to promote and guard the welfare of our children and youth in our school and in our community, to support students and staff through positive involvement, and to foster a closer relationship of home to school. The PTO supports teachers and students in raising much needed funds throughout the school year for materials, teachers’ wish lists, clubs, and organizations on campus. This year, our goal is to again provide scholarships to three lucky students – one from each of the CWHS Towers.

By helping to fund this event, you will be contributing directly to the dollar amount that will go towards the Second Annual Carl Wunsche PTO Scholarship Drive, but more importantly, you will be contributing directly to the successful future of several talented, deserving Carl Wunsche Sr. High School Students. What could be more important? Sponsorship entitles you to
