Toyota and Lexus Dealerships Driving YMCA Tournament
During a recent meeting of the Fort Bend County Y’s Golf Committee, Bill Myers, Y Golf Committee Chair, announced that Fort Bend Toyota and Sterling McCall Lexus had signed on as the Signature Sponsors for the 2012 Y Spring Golf Classic. This year’s tournament, the Fort Bend Toyota/Sterling McCall Lexus Spring Golf Classic, will be held at Pecan Grove Country Club on Monday, March 26th, with a shot-gun start at 11:30AM. Mike Shaw, Fort Bend Toyota General Manager and Co-Event Sponsor, stated “We are so proud to be a partner with the YMCA on this tournament, because we know the positive impact that the YMCA is having on our community”.
The Y Spring Golf Classic will have a best ball scramble format and include on-course competitions such as, closest to the pin, longest drive, and a putting contest. The tournament competition also includes a chance to win a $500 cash prize at a designated hole through the annual “Hit the Green Contest”. The event will include a fantastic lunch donated by Macaroni Grill and a delicious BBQ dinner donated by Swinging Door BBQ. In addition, golfers will enjoy complimentary on-course beverages and snacks during the course play. Each golfer will receive great goodie bags that will include a shirt, balls, snacks and green fees for four future rounds of golf at designated area Arnold Palmer Courses. During the dinner and awards ceremony, golfers can participate in both a silent and live auction that will benefit the Fort Bend Area YMCAs Partners Campaigns. The live auction will be led up by County Treasurer Jeff Council.
Although a few of the sponsorship opportunities have already been secured, there are still many ways for individuals, organizations and businesses to participate in the tournament. Available sponsorships include course sponsors, various team sponsorships and individual player sponsorships. Non-playing sponsorships include competition sponsorships, cart sponsorship, beverage station sponsorships, hat sponsorship, bag tag sponsorship, “Hit the Green” sponsorship and tee sign sponsorships. In addition to the Fort Bend Toyota/Sterling McCall Lexus and meal sponsors, the YMCA Tournament has also signed on N-The-Zone Photography as the Gold Sponsor of the event. Other commitments of support to date have come from Best Buy, Stewart Title, Icon Bank, Liberty Tax Service, Precor Fitness and Severn Trent Services. Joey Dupuis, Sterling McCall Lexus General Manager and Co-Event Sponsor, stated “We would like to call upon the generosity of our fellow Fort Bend County businesses to join us in supporting the YMCA’s community efforts through this year’s tournament”.
All proceeds from the Fort Bend Toyota/Sterling McCall Lexus Spring Golf Classic will go to the 2012 Partners Campaign fund of the YMCAs of Fort Bend County, which includes the Fort Bend Family YMCA in Missouri City, the T.W. Davis YMCA in Richmond and the Katy YMCA. Combined, the three YMCA Partners program funds will scholarship or subsidize over 3300 youth, families and individuals in character building YMCA programs, outreach, activities and memberships. “The YMCA strives to make it possible for everyone in the community to benefit from the YMCA regardless of their ability to afford it and the tournament funds will bring us that much closer to fulfilling our goal,” stated Charlie Myer, Y Regional Community Advancement Officer. The YMCA is a 501 C 3 Non-Profit organization dedicated to strengthening the foundations of community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
