Raising Money for Charity Golf Tournaments


There are many ways you can raise money through holding golf tournaments. If you are holding a golf tournament for a charity event you should maximize the money made for the cause. The ways you can make money include through the golf course, food, tournament, donations, and sponsors.

There are many things you need to do when you setup a golf tournament at a golf course. The first thing you need to do is find the course that will hold the event. Most golf courses love to hold charity events so you can have the opportunity to pick and choose. The most important thing is how much money you will make on the event.

When you hold a charity event the golf course is still going to want to make some type of a profit. You can set up a golf tournament where there is a straight fee for golfers like $30. The course will get $10 of the $30 and the remaining $20 will go to the cause. If golfers need to rent clubs and things like a cart these things are usually donated to the cause entirely also.

The reason golf courses are usually so generous when it comes to giving so much to charity events because it brings in more customers to their course. In addition, it gives the golf course advertising they normally wouldn’t get. The golf course still makes money and benefits from holding the event while the event makes money on each golfer.

The second way to make money when you have a charity golf tournament is by food. The golf course might have a restaurant willing to help with donating a percentage to all of the people who dine there. You also might consider selling food at the event. This is a great way to make money at the event. You can grill burgers, hot dogs, cotton candy, and more for very low prices and make an excellent profit. Food can make you a lot of money at your event because everyone needs to eat, especially golfers. People will get thirsty. Be sure to provide bottles of water and plenty of drinks.

One thing you might want to consider is that you can offer your food for donation prices. This means you don’t have to put a set price on the food at the event but leave it opens for donation. Remind people as they get food that the tournament is for a cause and leave it up to the people how much they want to give you for the food. This will allow you to make more money on the food then if you have a set price.

A raffle is a really good thing to have at a charity golf tournament. Most golf courses are willing to donate a free day of golf for two people for you to raffle off. You might even be able to find a local hotel that is willing to donate a free night’s stay. This will allow you to sell raffle tickets to attendees to win these items. It is very easy to get people to make donations for your cause. If your cause is something the local community believes is worthy enough, businesses will step in and give.

Donations are one of the most important things. You need to remind everyone at the event the cause for the charity event. Constantly remind people why you are there and what the benefit is all about. You need to encourage and ask for donations. All advertising for this event should provide an easy way for people to donate money. This includes phone numbers printed in the newspapers, drop off locations, and other ways. If you build a website for the event there should be a way people can donate online also.

Sponsors are very important also. Remember that people are willing to become sponsors because it is an opportunity to advertise their business. If you need sponsors, don’t be afraid to ask. Give the businesses a reason they should and how they can sponsor. You should have several packages that businesses can sponsor you for and the type of advertisement you will give to them. A business may pay a lot more money for advertising on the last hole rather than on the third hole. There are many ways you can make money through a charity golf tournament event. You should consider having as many sponsors as you can, remind people about donating, sell food, and work with the golf course to get the most money for your cause as possible.
