Happy New Year Divas!
Well it's now 2023 and as I begin to put this email together, I'm sitting here contemplating all of the things yet again... it's hard to believe it's been 13 years since I held the very first event.
From that first little gathering back in 2011 which was one of my fundraising activities for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service's Great Wall of China trek (and that first event raised $8,676.00), it has grown to become this living, breathing, heaving annual festival of friendship, love and connection, with a huge dose of happy vibes on the side!
Over the past 13 years, we have managed to raise $188,086.00 for both the WRHS and HBCF, through this one single event and I could not have done any of it without the support of each and every one of you.
I've always loved this quote and it accurately reflects what community can do. Our community...
"Individually we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean."
So... it's January all over again and I'm officially on the hunt for sponsors for this year's fun and games so we can raise more $$ for these two important community services.
I'm pretty sure this will be the final year to bring back that stunning marquee again as the new clubhouse should be finalised by the time we play again in 2024. It's nowhere near ready yet, so I'm essentially looking for an organisation that might be keen to foot the entire $11,000.00 bill which would include naming/theming rights to the 2023 event. I would also welcome a combination of sponsors to cover the cost if the above isn't achievable. I'm sure we could work out a mutually acceptable group theme/naming situation if this ends up to be the case.
With limited Gold sponsorships available (5 only) you'd best get moving and claim your hole pronto if you're thinking about it!
Silver sponsorships are unlimited, so plenty of those up for grabs.
I'm also looking for a champagne sponsor again this year so if you know any fabulous wineries that might like to donate champage for the lunch, I would LOVE to have a chat with them!
You can check out the different sponsorship opportunities below, or you might want to consider donating a prize. Either way, your contribution will be very much appreciated by the two charities the day supports.
