8th Annual Golf Tournament
Thursday, 12 July 2012
Please join the Friends of the Air Mobility Command Museum, the number one free tourist attraction in the state, at Jonathan’s Landing for the 8th Annual AMC Museum Foundation Golf Tournament on Thursday, 12 July 2012. The proceeds from this tournament will help us fulfill the mission of the AMC Museum as an aviation and aerospace, education, scientific, cultural, historical, and inspirational facility for the general public and the Air Force community. Registration will be from 11:00 to 12:00 noon. The 4-person scramble tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 12 noon. You may make up your own team. Tournament prizes will be awarded at dinner following the round. Join us for fun, food, and prizes! The cost, which includes golf with cart, buffet dinner, snacks/beverages, prizes, and possible hole-in-one prizes to include one of $10,000 from Ameriprise, is $85 per person, $75 per active duty Military Officer, and $55 per active duty Enlisted personnel.
We are seeking local enterprises to be Hole Sponsors for this event or to donate prizes. If you choose to Sponsor a hole, a 36”x24” sign will be placed on the golf course tees noting you as a Sponsor. All Sponsors are recognized in our handout brochure and also at the buffet dinner following the round. Sponsors names will be highlighted in our Museum e-newsletter, which goes out on the internet to over a thousand people. Further recognition will follow in our quarterly Hangar Digest and on the Museum website under "Latest News" following the tournament. The cost to sponsor a hole is $100. So, as you can see, being a Sponsor not only helps the AMC Museum, but it provides you with considerable recognition and advertising and is tax-deductible.
