A new twist to this year's event requires our players to raise a minimum of $125.00 in order to participate. In prior years, we simply required a flat team entry fee. Involving the players in the fund raising efforts was an idea suggested by the players in last year's post-event player feedback survey.
With the players now actively participating in our fund raising efforts, we've added some fun and friendly competition to the process as well. This year we will be giving away great prizes to the top individual fund raiser, as well as to the top team fund raiser. And with our new and improved event website on cff.org, each player will have their own personal fund raising page to help promote their efforts to friends, family and colleagues. All donations can be processed online, and the players and teams can track their progress leading right up to the event. It doesn't get much easier than that! All donations go directly to the CF Foundation of Central Ohio.
As for me, I am not exempt of the fund raising requirement (as the Event Chair and Tournament Director), and I have set a personal goal of raising $1,500.00. My personal fund raising page is ready go, and I plan on exceeding my goal (of course)!
Our total fund raising goal this year is $50,000, and with the growing number of teams and players we expect nothing less than to achieve our goal. We want to thank the players, and especially the team captains, for their support and participation!
Happy fund raising, everyone!
