Event Message from the Hosts:
[This special golf tournament arranged in Dean's honor to benefit The Cancer Research Institute (CRI), http://www.cancerresearch.org/, and families in need who have lost a loved one] is for anyone who can’t golf, does not want to golf or simply would rather donate in another way. We will need many volunteers to help make this a successful event. Understand...you can also volunteer and play as many of us are.We will be using a two-committee approach with each committee being responsible for many different elements in the planning process. Each committee will focus on elements that are inter-related. Simply put 1 group will handle the money; the other handles the event itself. The Sales Committee: Team sales and registration - Advertising - Goody bags - T-shirts - Hole sponsors - Silent Auction Items - Food & Beverage donations - Raffle items - Event Sponsors The Event Committee: Program planning – Contracts with suppliers – Celebrities – Cleanup – Volunteers – Hole marshals – Signage & Placement – Goody bag prep – Hosting Celebrities – Acquisition of trophy’s – Publicity – Speakers – Rental Equipment – Side Bar events – Dinner/Lunch – Food/Bev - Liaison with course – paying bills The idea is to make this event a successful one for many, many years to come with our children carrying on the tradition. The passing of Dean Stroh was a sad day but if we can look back on it many years from now and see how it sparked a wonderful fundraising tradition that helps many families and donates to a worthy cause, I’m sure many of us would be very proud of that. The vision we have calls for the event not only to pay for itself but also to provide proceeds to the charity of choice and to a family of need who lost a loved one. We lost a great man with the passing of Dean Stroh but unfortunately we will all lose loved ones in the years to come and in many cases those families will be in need of some kind of financial assistance. If we do this right, we can accomplish all of this.
