In addition to reaching the main objective of raising money, golf outings create camaraderie among participants, create newsworthy events and get noticed by the members of the community. Putting together a solid plan and being organized is crucial to hosting a great event. Let the staff at Purgatory Golf Club show you how we can make your event a success and why you should host your next golf outing at Purgatory. The staff at Purgatory will provide you with a detailed plan on how to run a successful golf outing including: Planning Checklist Tournament Budget Sample Letters to Players, How to request donations and secure sponsors Sample Flyers Sample Outing Formats Online registration of Golfers Proven fundraising techniques Golf Outings can raise $5,000, $10,000, $20,000 or even $100,000 or more for your charity

3 Dear Golf Outing Director, The Purgatory Outing Coordinators Guide is developed for both the first time outing coordinator, who knows very little (or less!) about the management of a golf tournament, as well as the seasoned veteran with years of tournaments under his or her belt. It is designed for fund-raising tournaments, and will help organize your budget planning and financial goals for the event. Purgatory Golf Club’s staff has excelled in outing services for many years, and we realize that many first-time tournament directors, and even seasoned vets, need access to good planning tools, budgets, templates, and proven revenue generating ideas focused on helping make your tournament more successful. This free guide is part of our commitment to help organizations large and small run successful and profitable golf events. It is our opinion that if our clients have great success we will also. We have designed these tools to be useful for even the most complicated and detail oriented tournaments. Many of these steps you may skip or even consider to be overboard, but we hope they stimulate your mind to make your event “The Best it Can Be.” We hope you find Purgatory’s Outing Coordinators Guide helpful in organizing and running your tournament. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to call us at 317.776.4653.

10 Fundraising Guidelines Tried and True Suggestions for Increasing your results from Fundraising If you don’t ask the answer is always no Don’t be daunted by the total If you don’t ask for sponsorship one will not be provided Make it easy for people or companies to sponsor Make arrangements to pick-up checks or gift certificates Enclose a self address stamped envelope when making a letter request Offer to accept a check or money during your meeting Let them know how successful the tournament was due to their contribution. You may also want to include a summary sheet indicating total dollars raised for the organization Make your self available and always return correspondence from the people you solicit Shout about it!
