Berkley Chamber Seeks Title Sponsor for Golf Outing

 
Berkley Chamber Golf Outing 2010

We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with the Challenge Cup to bring you this year's golf outing.  Loosely based on the Ryder Cup format, golfers will be divided into four to six teams of 10-12 golfers each identified by team colors.  This format will provide fair and balanced competition for any skill level, more networking, and a chance for your team to take home the coveted team trophy.  Click here for more details.

The event will take place on Friday, September 9th at Rackham Golf Course. 18 holes of golf w/ a cart, lunch, sit down dinner, awards ceremony, prizes, hole contests, and much more will make for a terrific day. You need not be a golfer to participate.  More information on golf and sponsorship to come.

We are also exicted to announce that we have chosen a charity partner for this event, the Berkley Education Foundation. A protion of the proceeds from each golfder will go to our charity partner...the more golfers we have the more money our partner receives!  The sole purpose of the Berkley Education Foundation (BEF) is to maintain and enhance educational opportunities and programs for Berkley students.  All money raised goes towards maintaining existing programs and is guaranteed to go directly back to the classrooms.

We are currently seeking a Title Sponsor for the event. The Title Sponsor's business name will be added to the event name and the tournament will be identified by the sponsor company.  For example: 

The Berkley Chamber of Commerce  Presents

Company XYZ Challenge Cup

The Title Sponsor will have their name/logo on both printed and online registration forms, the golf program listing all golfers, and all marketing materials associated with the event.

Each golfer will recieve a golf polo to be recognized as part of a team. The Title sponsor's logo will appear on ALL golf shirts for the event. 

The cost for Title Sponsorship is $1,000.  Deadline for Title Sponsorship is May 15, 2011.

Please contact Julie Melrose julie@berkleychamber.com or 248.414.9157 if you are interested in sponsoring.
