Twentieth Annual
Triple Crown Golf Classic
Dear Friend, March 30, 2015 is approaching quickly and we are in need of your help to make our 20th Annual Triple Crown Golf Classic a success! We are soliciting your support for a sponsorship and/or donation for the event. Your contribution would mean so much to us, as the money raised benefits two great service organizations in the Aiken area. The agencies are Helping Hands, Inc. and Tri Development Center of Aiken County, Inc., which are both United Way agencies that provide a wide array of services for Aiken and surrounding counties. Helping Hands is an emergency shelter for abused, abandoned and/or neglected children. They provide 24-hour care for children, aged birth to 21, who have been removed from their homes. Communitybased services are also offered to children, teens and parents/guardians through Aiken Youth Empowerment, a program of Helping Hands. Tri-Development offers vocational, social, recreational and residential and advocacy services for children and adults with intellectual disabilities and their families. Through public education, they help with the prevention of disabilities, in addition to the community awareness and understanding of people with disabilities. Your participation in this event will further support the services that each agency provides. Established in 1995, The Triple Crown Golf Classic is a Captain’s Choice tournament, with a shot-gun start. It is held at Woodside Plantation Country Club and is played on both the Cupp and Jones golf courses. Presently sponsorships, donations of goods and/or services, team entries and individual players are needed to make this event a success. Sponsorships and/or registration fees are tax deductible. We ask that you choose to do one or more of the following:
Sponsor: Sponsorships help defray the cost of the event. Should you choose to support in this way, your company will receive high visibility, in addition to an opportunity to play in the event. (See brochure for Sponsorship Appeals) Donate: You can support the event by donating goods and/or services that will act as prizes for golfers or appear in the Ditty Bags that each golfer receives at registration Ditty Bags: Each year, at least 180 golfers participate in the event. Should you choose to donate items to be placed in the Ditty Bags, we ask that you provide a minimum of 200 items.
Team Entry: Treat yourself, your fellow employees, family or friends to a day of golf at the exclusive Woodside Plantation’s Cupp and Jones golf courses. Golfers will compete for over $10,000 in prizes. The day will also include a free lunch by Chick-fil-A of Aiken and a closing ceremony dinner by Outback Steakhouse of Aiken.
We also hope that you will find the above options quite pleasing and consider supporting this event. Please note that all sponsorships and/or contributions will be tax deductible. Our Federal Identification number is 57-0564484. I have attached our event brochure for your review. If you have further questions, contact me at 648-3456 ext. 110. Sincerely,
