PART 2 PLANNING A TOURNAMENT
Dear ____________ ,
One of Dallas’ oldest and longest-running
charitable golf tournaments is gearing up
for its 22
nd
-annual tournament. The Young
Life Golf Tournament and Family Day
at The Dallas Athletic Cub will be held
on Monday, June 10, and we’d like you
to participate by sponsoring and playing
in the tournament. In a short time, you
will receive an opportunity to sign up as
an official sponsor of this event. Attached
for your consideration is an explanation
of the different levels of sponsorship
available to you.
Since its beginning right here in Dallas,
Young Life has been faithfully serving
the Metroplex by working with high
school and junior high school students for
more than 70 years. During those years,
thousands of teenagers have begun a
relationship with Christ, and Young Life
has grown to become an international
organization serving all 50 states and
more than 80 foreign countries. This year,
in the Dallas area alone, more than 4,000
kids will learn about Christ because of
Young Life’s presence. Let’s keep this
mission going, and growing.
Little doubt exists that a vital, proven
ministry to students is needed. Please
prayerfully consider your part in taking
Christ to these kids. I look forward to
talking with you soon.
Sincerely,
“Who are the best poten tial
corporate sponsors? Target those
who would specifically appre ciate
exposure to a golf audi ence,
such as financial plan ners and
insurance agents.”
“Inviting a strategic number of
key pastors, school principals
and teachers to play for free is a
great way to intro duce Young Life
to community leaders. Getting
a donor to under write these
expenses creates a
win-win opportunity.”
“Maintaining contact with
sponsors from the point of their
commitment through out the event
is a wise investment of your time
and effort. In fact, even con tacting
them occasionally throughout
the year with encouraging
ministry updates may result in
repeat sponsorship in future
years, especially if they have
had a positive expe rience and
feel genuinely and personally
connected to the ministry.”
