A Brighter Day's 7th Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser

A Brighter Day's 7th Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser
A Brighter Day will be holding its 7th annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser, Chip Away at Teen Suicide, on Monday, June 12th at the Crow Canyon Country Club.

The 6th Annual Golf Tournament last year broke A Brighter Day’s record with the highest turnout to date. This sold-out event brought the Tri-Valley community together and even attracted the attention of professional athletes, Jeff Garcia and Dave Righetti, as well as San Jose Sharks commentator, Randy Hahn. All three of these lovely gentlemen will be back on the course with us this year!

It is open for everyone to attend, volunteer, and support – but to actually play in the golf tournament, attendees must donate.

One of the major ways you can support is by becoming a sponsor. We will be offering several sponsorship packages, including all kinds of marketing benefits. There are pre-show and post-show promotions, newsletter email blasts, signage at sponsored holes, and booth opportunities–just to name a few. Of course, all sponsorships are 100% tax deductible.

Player registration opens on March 1st, make sure to mark your calendar!
