BMW Charity Pro-Am

 

BMW Pro-Am Link

Junior Golf Day

 

4/30/08

Nationwide Tour’s BMW Charity Pro-Am is only two weeks away (May 15-18) in Greenville, SC.  The NCCAA is one of the selected charities to receive funds raised through this tournament and one of our responsibilities is to sell passes.   Your National Office still needs your help by purchasing passes for this event.  With our small staff, we are turning to our friends and members of the NCCAA for help. 

 

Even though you may not be able to attend the Pro-Am, will you consider purchasing one or more passes for us to donate to underprivileged families in our community and for local donor cultivation?  Passes are only $25 each and 100% of that comes directly back to the NCCAA.  Perhaps you can donate one, two, four or more passes.  Of course, we’d love for you to come see us in Greenville at the event! 

 

Checks can be made payable to NCCAA (tax deductible) and mailed (see below) to the NCCAA by May 19, 2008.  We also take American Express, MasterCard and Visa, but request that you phone with that information for security reasons. 

 

We appreciate your prayerful consideration as together we raise funds for continued NCCAA ministry and to increase our chances for future funding through the BMW Charity Pro-Am.  May God bless you as you complete this school year and in the days ahead.

Official notification has been given to the NCCAA to received financial support from the 2008 Nationwide Tour BMW Charity Pro-Am net proceeds!  This is a real praise as the Lord has provided this opportunity for us to benefit from this outstanding event.

 

In addition to receiving a donation from the foundation of the tournament, South Carolina Charities, Inc., there are a number of ways the NCCAA may increase its contribution level through increased involvement in tournament activities.  Will you consider being involved with us during this event to help raise funds for the NCCAA?  Please call our office (864-250-1199) for more information or email us at info@thenccaa.org. 

 

 

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

1,500 people are needed as volunteers for this event and the NCCAA receives credit for each volunteer signing up under our name.  Will you consider working a six-hour shift or more during this event the week of May 12-18, 2008?  Volunteer registration forms are available online - please note NCCAA on your form.  Positions are available in areas on and off the course, so golf experience is not necessary.  There is a small cost associated with volunteering ($40 which includes your patron credentials for the week, volunteer shirt, hat and food during your shift.)  Perhaps you could bring your team or children with you to help us in this endeavor - what an outreach opportunity!

 

Following the tournament, two names will be drawn from the volunteer corps and a $2,500 donation will be made in their name to the charity of their choice - meaning if one of our volunteer's name is drawn, the NCCAA will receive extra proceeds.

BMW Charity Pro-Am Presents Gift to NCCAA

 

Thank you for your financial support and prayers for the NCCAA through the BMW Charity Pro-Am at the Cliffs, which was held May 14-20, 2007 at Cliffs Valley, The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards and The Cliffs at Walnut Cove courses, located in the Greater Greenville, SC area and western NC.  The seventh-annual BMW Charity Pro-Am at The Cliffs golf tournament raised a record $2,021,325 for 20 Upstate and Western North Carolina charities, NCCAA being one of them.

 

The Celebration Luncheon was held last Tuesday and the NCCAA received a check for $51,200.  This is a record for our four years with this event and brings the total derived from this event to $135,000.  The NCCAA was publicly recognized for our excellent use of this event to benefit both our organization and the Upstate of South Carolina.

 
The BMW Charity Pro-Am at The Cliffs has raised more than $5.7 million for Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina charities in its seven years. The tournament is the leading charity event on the Nationwide Tour. This year’s charity donation is the highest one-year amount ever recorded by a Nationwide Tour tournament.
 
For the fourth straight year, the NCCAA was given the opportunity to raise funds through this event through several avenues. The NCCAA sold all 300 passes allotted to us with the help of our member coaches, athletics directors and Pro-Am guests who donated tickets back to the NCCAA to use as donor cultivation.  We also recruited 33 volunteers who worked over 1,000 hours in our name.  Some of our volunteers also worked in leadership positions. 
 
We also secured 8 of 50 teams to play on behalf of the NCCAA in the Charity Challenge. Though none of our teams won the Challenge, most of them were in the hunt for the grand prize.  However, the low amateur of the Nationwide Tournament, Fred Mercer, had selected NCCAA as his selected charity giving an additional $10,000 to NCCAA for his efforts. 
 
The selection committee for the BMW Charity Pro-Am at the Cliffs has assured NCCAA that we will remain a part of this event for 2008 because of our dedication to excellence in serving the Upstate in this capacity. Perhaps you will consider bringing your team and/or family to volunteer on our behalf.  What a great ministry opportunity!

NCCAA Earns Funds at BMW Charity Pro-Am at the Cliffs

Text Box: NCCAA's Kelly & Dan Wood (l), Bobby Hitt, BMW/President SC Charities, Inc. and Darin MacDonald (r), Tournament Director, celebrate the net proceeds of the event. 

The National Christian College Athletic Association staff and friends just completed a week of volunteer opportunities and fund raising for the NCCAA at the Nationwide Tour’s BMW Charity Pro-Am at the Cliffs. The NCCAA was one of 29 charities (out of 280 applicants) chosen as a beneficiary of this top Nationwide Tour event.

As a selected charity, the NCCAA has several avenues in which to raise funds for the association. First, the NCCAA

sells passes to the event and receives

all the monies for each ticket sold ($25

each). All 200 passes allotted to the

NCCAA were sold with the help of its member coaches and athletics directors who donated tickets back to the NCCAA to use as donor relations and to distribute to the underprivileged so they may attend the event.

The NCCAA is also responsible to recruit volunteers to work at the event. This year, 33 individuals volunteered on behalf of the NCCAA donating over 900 hours in our name. We are thankful for their time and efforts. Dan Wood, NCCAA Executive Director, was named Nationwide Tour’s All-Star Volunteer of the Week.

Further, each charity has the opportunity to recruit two-man teams to play in the Charity Challenge on Monday of the event. The NCCAA again broke its own record for the most number of teams in that tournament. Friends and leaders of the NCCAA stepped up to the tee for the NCCAA as 12 of 50 teams played on our behalf. The charity of the winning team wins an additional $20,000…and you guessed it – this year the NCCAA team of Board member John Wheeler and Dan Wood won the Charity Challenge! Players traveled from NY, SC, FL, GA, OK, MO, IL, and OH to participate on our behalf.

The NCCAA received over $40,000 in gift income through this event. Thank you for your prayers on our behalf as well as your time, talent and treasure which helps catch the eye of the selection committee for next year’s event. Perhaps you will consider bringing your team and/or family to Greenville, SC to volunteer at this event May 14-20, 2007 on our behalf. What a great ministry opportunity!
