USA Today just reported that fundraising golf events will raise $3.5 billion this year, quite a sum in this economy.

Golf events take a lot of time to organize and execute but the efforts pay off in several ways. First of all, you raise money for your organization.

Secondly, you involve your supporters in fun activity which keeps them involved with your organization.

Thirdly, you can generate new supporters for your group. Many golfers that attend a fundraising golf event are invited by someone. They may not know anything about your group and the good work you do. If you set up your event properly, they will leave the event with a better understanding of your organization and may become involved in the future.

So plan your event now using the Golf Digest Planner and not only raise more money,  but grow your supporter base as well.
