GCCC ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT

Got this message and wanted to share with you all. The Golf Tournament is held on June 14th at Reedy Creek. For more information, sign up forms, etc., contact the Chamber at 919-773-8448, see any Chamber member, ask at the Draft House or let me know. Space is limited to only 32 teams.

Dear Chamber Members and Tournament Golfers:
We are extremely excited about this year's GCCC 5th Annual Golf Tournament. It is quickly shaping up to be the biggest and best one yet! Our tournament offers a LOT for your money. AS A PLAYER, you receive lunch and dinner along with snacks, beer, and assorted non-alcoholic beverages including Gatorade, sodas, and water...all included in your registration fee. There is a chance to win a new car, experience a ball launcher club, and other assorted mini-contests throughout the day. Along the way to the different holes, you will be greeted by different sponsors with tents containing setups promoting their business as well as free treats such as Bloody Marys and food items. As if this is not enough, there is a golf bag of goodies given to each player at registration, various door prizes, and a chance to participate in a 50/50 raffle. ALL THIS FOR ONLY $60/player!!!! Don't wait too long to register.....we only have room for 32 Teams.

AS A SPONSOR, you are given full recognition with a personalized hole sign you keep after the tournament is over. Your name is displayed on a banner posted in open view to all throughout the day. Additionally, you are encouraged to setup a hole tent to promote your business. With all door prize donations, we are sure to recognize each contributor and thank them for their support. We are still hoping for a Title Sponsor with plenty of time for us to advertise their name on our banners, newspaper advertisements, flyers, and posters.

The Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce works hard to promote our local businesses and offer opportunities for businesses to give back to the community. This is one opportunity you don't want to miss out on! Please help support your local chamber so that we may continue to grow and promote the Cleveland area!!! Remember, the more you put in, the more you will get out of being a chamber member. For more information contact: GCCC at 919-773-8448
