Dear Community of Saint Joseph’s;

 

“What is a hole sponsorship?”

 

Before coming to Saint Joseph’s I had never been involved with a golf tournament and did not know what it meant to sponsor a hole at such an event.  In actuality I have been learning a great deal about tournaments and how they function as fundraisers for an institution like Saint Joseph’s.

 

When you play a tournament (as I did last year for the first time ) and make your way across the course there are signs posted on the greens identifying the names of sponsors who support the event.  So the golfers see the name of the    businesses or individuals as they play.  The sponsor’s names stimulate discussion, interest and gratitude as we play through the course.

 

Since the Golf Tournament is our main fundraiser, the sponsorships constitute a major part of our profit.  We only earn a small amount on the golfing fee and nothing on the dinner tickets.  Our real revenue is generated by sponsors and by the purchasing of the raffle tickets and the silent auction at the event itself.

 

I ask you to consider being a sponsor for this year’s tournament. Consider sponsoring in memory of a family member you would like to honor or in the name of your business or your family.  Your support generates good will and ultimately enables us to continue the successful funding of Saint Joseph’s ministries.

 

There are four levels of sponsorship this year:

 

$1,000 Platinum Sponsor – 4 golfers with dinners, and full advertisement benefits.

 

$500 Gold Sponsor  – Full advertisement benefits.

 

 $250 Silver Sponsor – Full advertisement benefits.

 

 $150 Bronze Sponsor – Full advertisement benefits including: hole sponsor signs, acknowledgment in both our church website and bulletin, a formal thank you in newspaper and acknowledgment in print at our event.

 

 $ Anonymous Giver – The full joy of giving in secret.  No thanks necessary.

 

 

 

Whether you are golfing on September 19 or coming to the dinner or being a hole sponsor or donating a prize or purchasing or selling raffle tickets – the involvement and support of each and every parishioner will help to make this year’s event a great success and another opportunity to build the living body of Christ at Saint Joseph’s.
