PRESS RELEASE DATE: APRIL 7, 2011
Read more about the
Tournament of Hope
Participants in House of Hope’s 16th Annual Tournament of Hope on April
29 have the opportunity to play a premier golf
course, a chance to win a set of elite golf
clubs, and the guarantee of helping to ensure
that thousands of children won’t go hungry.
House of Hope is seeking players and sponsors
for its 16th Annual Tournament of Hope, which
returns this year to Piper’s Landing Yacht &
Country Club on April 29.
The cost of the event is $600 per foursome or
$175 per player, with many sponsorship and
underwriting opportunities available. To put
that in human terms for House of Hope: $600
provides the equivalent of about 2,400 meals; a
$100 tee sign sponsorship would provide 400
meals.
Here’s the lineup for this year’s tourney:
• 11:30 a.m. – Registration and buffet lunch.
• 1:15 p.m. – Shotgun start (four-person
modified scramble).
• After play – Awards reception with heavy hors
d'oeuvres.
• The tourney also features a silent auction,
hole-in-one prizes and caps for every player,
sponsored by Senior Home Companions.
• A drawing for a set of TaylorMade golf clubs
like the ones Greg Norman plays, in a bag
autographed by The Shark himself. Chances are
$20 each, or six for $100.
Marty Carmody is the chairman of the Tournament
of Hope committee, which also includes Kathy
Carmody, Charlie D'Agata, Frank Doyle, Jeff
Kaplan, Brad Larsen and Jim Matts.
Jim and Elaine Matts are the presenting sponsors
for the event, at a level that is the equivalent
of 20,000 meals.
The demand for House of Hope assistance — food,
clothing, financial help, and life-changing case
management services — continues to escalate. The
goal for the Tournament of Hope is to raise
$50,000 to sustain vital services over the long
summer months when the demand for help
dramatically increases as seasonal positions
wind down, unemployment rolls rise, and people –
particularly children – suffer.
