2012 LSCP Golf Outing

Posted by on April 27, 2012

Since the snow melted in early March, Mother Nature has been going back and forth on deciding whether or not she’ll bring us spring weather.  However, we’ve reached that time on the calendar, at least, where we begin to talk about summer break, vacation plans and of course high school graduation (so proud of my daughter Jocelyn, who will be graduating from Negaunee High School this coming June!).  It also means that the Lake Superior Community Partnership’s 13th Annual Golf Outing is just around the corner! 

This years outing is scheduled for Tuesday, June 12th and will be held at the Heritage Golf Course in Marquette.  The fun-filled day packed with activities begins with a shotgun start at 11:00 a.m.  There are chances to win great prizes throughout the day with our poker run, a putting contest with a prize of $10,000 and a chance to win a new car or $1 million with a Hole-In-One!  
The Golf Outing is one of our biggest fund raising events of the year.  By participating, you allow the LSCP to continue its mission to stimulate and sustain a vibrant regional economy. The cost for participation is $550 per team of five, or $115 for an individual golfer.  Registration includes green fees, a shared golf cart, lunch, social hour and dinner. 
This annual event is not only an important fundraiser for the LSCP, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity for business folks to get out of the office and enjoy a beautiful day on the links with their colleagues.  The LSCP Golf Outing is the perfect platform to take a client, reward your staff or use it as an opportunity to network for your business.  Here are some networking tips:

  • Set a goal of meeting at least 5 new people during the day.

  • Always have business cards in your pocket to share.

  • Join a table at dinner of golfers you would like to meet or strengthen your relationship with.

  • Use social hour as a time to really “work the room”.

  • Wear a logoed clothing item or provide logo giveaways.
Opportunities for sponsorships are still available to showcase your business.  Your business will be promoted before, during and after the event.  Some members who have already committed as major sponsors include Holiday Station Stores, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Manpower and Marquette General Health System.
Throughout the summer, many non-profit organizations will be holding their own fund raising events on the golf course such as the Bell Foundation, Marquette Rotary Club, March of Dimes and the Beacon House to name a few.  While they are a great excuse to get out on the links and have a good time, they are of even greater importance to the vitality of these organizations and the need that they serve in our community.  Keep your eyes and ears open for terrific opportunities to help our non-profits all summer long. 
The registration deadline  for the LSCP Golf Outing is Tuesday, June 5, 2011. To register, visit our website at https://marquette.org/participate/lscp-golf-outing-2012or call the LSCP office at 906-226-6591. Polish your clubs and come join in on the fun!
