Its a golfers dream: Two inaugural golf tournaments during the month of April in our own backyard, both with local nonprofits benefiting from the proceeds of the event. The inaugural YMCA Charity Golf Tournament to benefit the Helping Others campaign of the Poinciana Family YMCA will be Saturday, April 13, at the Stonegate Golf Club. This is an opportunity to play at this Solivita course and help support our communitys young people. This springtime golf event is open to the first 36 teams. Sponsorships are available. A $500 birdie sponsor includes entry for four people, sponsor name listed on tee box, driving range and putting green. This level sponsorship offers the opportunity to include company information and/or promotional items in players gift bags. These sponsors will also receive program recognition. A $250 par sponsor includes entry for two players and a sponsor name listed on tee box and driving range. This sponsorship also includes program recognition. A hole-in- one sponsor is $100 and includes sponsor name listed on the tee box and name recognition on the event program. An individual players fee is $65. The Helping Others Campaign is the YMCAs annual community support campaign. The Y is committed to healthy spirit, mind and body. It is the Ys belief that personal and social character can come about when we all invest in our kids and our community. This campaign encourages businesses and individuals to donate and help others who, without their support, would not be able to enjoy the benefits of the YMCA and all it has to offer.
