The Rotary Club of Goodyear PebbleCreek will sponsor its second annual Charity Golf Tournament on March 16, 2019. Proceeds from the tournament fund charitable good works that make a difference in the lives of the local community.
The tournament will again be held at the Tuscany Falls Golf Club in PebbleCreek. The cost for a four-person team will be $360 which includes the round of golf, golf cart and lunch. Individuals can also enter and will be partnered with a golf group. The entry deadline is March 8, 2019. Registration forms are available in the PebbleCreek golf pro shops or by contacting Pat Enyeart at 623-251-1267 or John Spooler at 623-695-6614.
Marquee event sponsorships and hole sponsorships are available for local businesses and community groups to consider. All sponsorship donations are re-invested in the community for charitable projects.
Contact Lou Ann Ashburn at 623-444-7471 or Joan Smith at 503-348-9468 for donations to the raffle and sponsorship information.
“After outstanding success with the golf tournament in our inaugural year, we are really excited about our upcoming second annual event,” said Joan Smith, Rotary Club President. “A fun feature of the tournament is the ‘ball drop’ where 300 numbered golf balls will be dropped from the top of a fire ladder truck.” Tickets for each ball number will be sold and the dropped ball that lands in or closest to the designated golf hole will win 50% of the total raffle amount collected.
“Last year, the winner took home $3,000,” noted Smith, “and it is a fun event for spectators!” Contact Tom Leyda at 760-485-5549 to purchase ball drop tickets.
The lunch following the tournament will present additional raffle prize opportunities including golf equipment, dinner gift certificates, wine baskets and a host of other cool items.
“We hope to exceed our player and sponsorship turnout following our encouraging first year,” said Smith. “Virtually all of the tournament proceeds are invested back into the community in the spirit of ‘service above self’, which anchors Rotary’s mission.”
