The Collision Repair Education Foundation’s 15th annual summer golf fundraiser, taking place August 10th at the Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda, Calif., has sold out and a waiting list has been created for those interested in playing if registration spots become available. This fundraiser takes place in conjunction with Industry Week meetings being held in Anaheim. Funds raised through this event assist the Education Foundation in providing support to collision repair students and their schools’ collision programs.
Even industry members who aren’t attending Industry Week or playing in the event have the opportunity to win up to $12,000 through the LORD Corporation-sponsored helicopter golf ball drop that will take place as part of the event. Individuals can purchase golf balls online ($20 per ball) that will be dropped from a helicopter over a hole on the Black Gold Golf Club course the day of the event. Whoever sponsors the numbered golf ball that goes in the hole (or gets closest to the pin) will win 50 percent of the total funds raised from the golf ball drop. Participants do not need to be present to win, and if all 1,200 golf balls are sold, the winner will be awarded $12,000.
“We cannot thank our sponsors and players enough for their continued support of this event,” said Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode. “I would ask industry members to consider purchasing golf balls for our helicopter ball drop as it supports the Education Foundation’s efforts and you might win up to $12,000. We look forward to a great day on the course and raising additional funds for high school and college collision school programs.”
Those interested in being added to the event’s waiting list should contact Eckenrode at [email protected] or (847) 463-5244.
