VForce Dreams Project Golf Tournament

Dear Parents,

The VForce Dreams Project Golf Tournament is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. Your support in helping us gather donations and sponsors is what makes this event possible. Here’s a simple guide to help you feel confident when asking for support.

1. Why We’re Asking

This tournament isn’t just about golf—it’s about raising funds for the VForce Dreams Project. Proceeds support scholarships and programs that empower young athletes to reach their dreams.

2. Who to Ask

Think of people and businesses already connected to your world:
• Local restaurants, gyms, salons, and shops
• Your workplace or business contacts
• Professionals (doctors, dentists, realtors, insurance agents, etc.)
• Family, friends, and community members who support youth programs

3. How to Ask

📞 Phone or In-Person Ask

We’re looking for sponsors and raffle/auction donations. Would you be interested in supporting us? We’d love to recognize your business at the event.”

✉️ Text/Email Ask
“Hello [Name],
The VForce Dreams Project is hosting our Golf Tournament on [date]. This fundraiser supports scholarships and programs for local athletes. We are looking for both sponsors and raffle/auction donations. Your support would mean so much, and we’d be proud to recognize your business at the event. Can I send you more details?”

4. Ways to Support
• Sponsorships: Hole Sponsors, Event Sponsors, VIP Sponsors

5. Tips for Parents

✅ Thank everyone, even if they decline.
✅ Follow up with a thank-you right away if they say yes!

6. Final Reminder

Every donation, big or small, makes an impact. Together, we can make this tournament a success and continue to grow the opportunities for our athletes through the VForce Dreams Project.

Thank you for being part of our mission! 💚💜
