Dear Families of USC Boys K–12 Lacrosse,

We are excited about this year’s Golf Outing fundraiser event scheduled for Saturday, October 24th to be held at Hickory Heights Golf Club.  It also marks the first big fundraiser for the newly merged K–12 boys lacrosse program.  We want to make this event even better than the last.  Your cooperation and participation are needed in order to reach our fundraising goal and help to provide the best possible opportunities for our boys throughout the year.

This event will not be a success without your help.

If you aren’t the greatest golfer, so what!  That is why you have three other golfers in your group.  The scramble format allows you to have a bad shot without hurting the team’s score.  Ultimately, it is a time to have a lot of fun whether or not you golf well.  In addition to the golf, take a chance at the 50/50 raffle and the basket auction items, as well as enjoy a meal you don’t have to cook.

There are many ways you can help to make this event successful.  

GET AT LEAST ONE FOURSOME to participate in the event.  (Click HERE to register or send the attached Golf Outing Flyer to your family, friends, and/or neighbors who golf.)

VOLUNTEER! Volunteers are needed to help prepare for the event AND on the day of the event.  How can you help?  See the needs below and email Lynn & Lance Erdos to let them know how you can help.

• REACH OUT TO PRIOR SPONSORS – A few people are needed to reach out to get HOLE sponsors as well as donations for the SILENT AUCTIONS

• PUT BASKETS TOGETHER – Are you crafty and/or creative? Your help is needed to put together the donated items into several wrapped baskets to be raffled.

• PHOTOGRAPHER – Do you have a camera and like to take photos?  Your help is needed to spend some time on the day of the outing taking pictures of golfers.

• PRINT SIGNS – Someone is needed to get the hole sponsor signs printed for the event.  Can you do this? Do you have any connections?

• REGISTER GOLFERS – A few people are needed to help with the golfer registration (only about 1-2 hours of your time)

• SELL TICKETS – A few people are needed to help sell 50/50 tickets and basket auction tickets during the event

DRIVE-BY GIFT GIVING NIGHT – Wednesday, September 23rd – 5:00-8:00 pm  (Donations can be dropped off at Lynn & Lance Erdos’ house – 1598 Pinetree Drive)

To streamline the gifts that will be used to create the gift baskets for the auction, we are asking each age group to donate to a specific basket theme:

• 11th & 12th grades: Wine & Spirits (drinks, glasses, coolers, etc.)

• 9th & 10th grades:  Dinner & Date night gift cards

• 14U:  Lottery Tree (bring scratch-off tickets and we will create one big lottery tree)

• 12U:  Family Night (games, movies, popcorn, mini-golf gift card, family friendly dinner gift certificates, etc.)

• 10U & 8U:  Pamper Mom (salon products & gift cards, massage certificate, candles, foot bath, chocolates, etc.)

* And, OF COURSE if you would like to think outside of the box with a different themed donation, please don't be shy! We'll find a spot for your donation.

Please reach out to your friends, family, employer, and your network of contacts for donations! 

Attached for you are a flyer for the event and a sponsor donation letter with sponsorship options.  

If you have any questions, please call or email Lance Erdos.

Thank you.
