hey everyone,
last year my 24 year old friend went missing while spear fishing off the big island of hawaii. the sad thing is that at the time his son was 10 days old, and his wife became a widow at 24. a group of his friends and i would like to plan a charity golf tournament in the san fran bay area (his hometown), but have no idea where to start. Any advice would be welcome, we are trying to raise money for his son for college and for his wife to live off of while she takes care of the toddler.
Thank you!
Talk to a Tournament Director at any reputable golf course. That’s what they do and they would glad to assist you in the selection in the type of tournament that would be best suited for your purpose.
Weeeelll….
Since I’m in Advertising…
1) Golf towels printed with the info
2) golf balls printed with a URL of the charity golf tournament
3) Keys (for the golf cart!) with a key chain that has the info
4) a piece of Astroturf with the invite glued to the back (you could get a LOT of invites from a roll!)
Let me know if any of these work out for you!!
Does anyone one know a good place to go?
I work with a charity and we have been having our event at Stonebridge Country Club. They are really the best in the area. We have tried other courses but they just don’t match up to the service and attention we get at Stonebridge. Plus Stonebridge is one of the best courses in NH …and the food is good!! Alot of clubs have terrible food.
Stonebridge does a lot of extra things for our event and even makes up the tee sponsor sign for free! They have an on-course beer cart with cute girls too!!
They also donate things to our raffle and give us lessons for our last place team…they really are awesome! I can’t say enough!!
During Super Bowl week Ed Reed decided to hold a charity golf tournament in Miami. There was a great turn out and you will be able to get a taste of what it was like. Edited by Buddy Bullard

It is not a black tie event, so i dont have to worry over a ball gown or long dress. But the posh dinner does need a nice dress to be worn on the night. Im 27, so i want something modern, yet tasteful as most of the guests are elderly and need a level of modersy. I only have gift vouchers to spend at topshop, so if you can suggest a nice number from here or under £25 elsewhere it would be great.

I’m with a national community service club who hosts a charity golf outing for our local club. All our fundraising returns to our community, generally to our children and handicap adults programs we sponsor. Golf attendance has been way down due to the competing golf outings for other really great causes. I’m requesting prizes from golf courses/resorts in Michigan for donations to entice golfers to join our great outing. The ltrs I’ve received state that "due to the great amount of requests", so some groups are getting these great giveaways. Is there a sure-fire method of fundraising success. This is my first year on the golf committe, so I’m trying to make a difference.
first know exactly what the funds go for and tell them when you call/contact them, also give them suggestions of what they may contribute, tell them how successiful it was in past years. Hope this helps
MMA is a very political industry with its fair share of cliques. However, there is a cause that never fails to bring unity to the MMA community, and that is the memory of the late Ryan Bennett.
Bennett died tragically in a car accident on May 31, 2006 at the age of 36, leaving wife Tonya and four children behind.
25 fighters + a golf course= tons of fun!
MMA Agents presents their first Annual golf tournament to benefit Ryan Bennett’s Family at Sierra Lakes Golf Course in Ontario, CA. Tuesday was a beautiful day and everyone started checking in at 9am. The teams which included one fighter on each hit the course for the next five hours for some golf, fun, and drinking. This included keg stands on the 10th hole with the hooter’s ladies serving as well as various sponsors scattered on different holes across the course. All in all it was a fantastic day and a ton of fun! Tanya Bennett, her daughter and sister were on hand to oversee the activities.
A professional sportscaster who worked for several local NBC affiliates and hosted talks shows on sports radio stations such as ESPN 1280 and Sports Radio 570, Bennett is most familiar to MMA fans as the co-founder of MMAWeekly.com and as a former UFC announcer.
On Aug. 11, Ken Pavias MMAagents fighter agency will hold its first-ever charity golf tournament at the Sierra Lakes Golf Club in Fontana,Calif. And Pavias agency has chosen a worthy cause for its maiden voyage as proceeds will be donated the Ryan Bennett Foundation.

I want to give away some stock to a local sport/schools charity, but I was wondering if I could then claim the value of this stock (cost price) against tax as a charity gift?
In the UK, yes, as an appropriation from stock, but transfer should be at retail value.
Looking for events for active participation in a round of golf and not just a spectator event.
I know that Lake Merced Golf Club has amateur charity events. They are in SF.
You should also try the Women’s Golf Association of Northern California. They promote amateur tournaments as well. Here’s their website: http://www.wganc.com/
