Charity Golf Tournaments Can Net Real Green For Nonprofit Organizations

But sponsors are good for more than just green. Co-sponsors of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bluegrass ACT serve on the tournament committee and recruit teams for the event, serving as veritable ambassadors for the organization.

“The co-sponsors are the folks that really drive this tournament in terms of getting individuals and companies and corporations to participate, not because it’s a great golf event but because it’s helping us accomplish our mission in regard to mentoring and serving children,” says Joe Gomes, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bluegrass.
