WATERPAC FUNDRAISER CHALLENGES

WaterPac Fundraisers – Help Us Beat Last Year’s Record!
Last year, thanks to your generosity and enthusiasm, we raised an incredible $6,986 for WaterPac during our golf tournament! This year, we're aiming even higher — and we need your help. Join in on the fun with these exciting on-course fundraisers, which all supporting a great cause:

1. “On The Green in One” Challenge

• Take your shot at glory! Land your ball on the green in one swing on the designated hole and you’ll be entered into a cash drawing. 
• Bonus: Mulligans can be used for this challenge — so don’t hold back!

2. Mulligans

• Need a do-over? Purchase Mulligans to replay a shot — no judgment here! Use them strategically (especially on that cash drawing hole!).
• Mulligan pre-sales will begin 1 week before the tournament.

3. “Sweet Spot” Advantage

• Buy a 3-foot rope of licorice and use it to improve your ball position without taking a stroke penalty. Want to move your ball closer to the hole or out of trouble? Just tear off the length of licorice you use and toss it (or eat it if you are so inclined).

100% of proceeds go to support WaterPac, helping to protect and promote clean, safe, and sustainable water resources. Let’s have some fun and make this another record-breaking year!
