MI Freedom Center Needs Volunteers for “Tee It Up For Freedom” Golf Outing

Help Needed

Dear Freedom Center Supporters,

Our annual “Tee It Up For Freedom” Golf Outing is our largest fundraising event. The success of this event drives the lavishness of the amenities we are able to offer our guests. I know that I am not alone among you in desiring to have sufficient resources to promote our services as a “Thank you for your service” on steroids. In order to make this desire a reality, we need your help.

A lot of work goes into the planning and execution of a successful golf outing…and many hands make light work. In this spirit, I have asked our Golf Outing Chair and Board Member, Janina Parrott-Jacobs, for a list of volunteer roles that need to be filled in order to make this event a success.

Here is the list:

BEFORE THE OUTING

RAFFLE COMMITTEE:
Procure and organize raffle prizes, keep a running list, set up and display items, sell tickets (before, during and after golf…and go out on course), draw winners. Provide list of donations and value to Patrick.
**Need 5-6 people, plus coordinate any others who are donating.

PRIZE COMMITTEE:
Procure prizes for course games, trophies for winners, Lucky Dog winners. Set up the prizes for awards ceremony, accounting for all.
**Need 2-3 people

GOODIE BAGS and STUFFERS: Procure items for Golfer Goodie Bags (need about 150 of each item); Meet a day or two before the event to stuff goodie bags.

Our Board has set an ambitious goal of raising $70,000 at this year’s golf outing. In order to reach this goal, we need a full slate of golfers and a large number of 1 Star to 4 Star sponsors.

Whether or not you have the ability to sign up as a volunteer for this event, please help us spread the word so that we can make this our best event ever!

Thank you yet again for all that you do to fulfill our mission to serve those who serve us!

Honored to be of service!
