Sponsors, donors sought for R-W 8th grade 'DC' golf outing

The Rolland-Warner Washington, DC, Committee, in collaboration with Devil’s Ridge Golf Course and Metamora Country Club, is hosting a Golf Outing on July 23 to raise funds for our 8th grade students attending their Washington, DC, Field Trip in early November of 2011. The outing begins at 12:30 p.m. with a shotgun start at 2 p.m.

Parents, teachers, and community members have come together to raise funds for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these 8th graders to go to Washington DC and to be part of their curriculum. The decision was made to move the Washington, DC, Field Trip to November, rather than the spring, so these young people can have deeper understanding and prior knowledge through hands-on learning experiences in Washington, DC. However, that shortened the time these young people have to fundraise and pay for their trip. They need your help to make this fundraiser successful.

Donations in the form of merchandise, gift cards, etc. are being collected for the silent auction and prizes for the golfers. The donations will make it possible for more than 160 participants to attend their Washington, DC, Field Trip and touch many young adults’ lives!

Sponsors also can contribute at levels ranging from $100 to $550 in exchange for a wonderful advertising opportunity for their businesses, a tax deduction, and the knowledge of helping local youth attend this awesome once in a lifetime opportunity of going to Washington DC and actually being part of their 8th grade curriculum!

All donations will be tax deductible and accompanied by a receipt, if requested, not to mention the advertising received through a donation. All businesses that donate items will be listed in the program, which will be handed out to approximately 300 golfers, more than 600 school employees and the more than 160 field trip participants and their families!

Thank you for supporting your local youth!
