First Big Swing Golf Tournament to Provide Valuable Fundraising, Elevated Experience — Sport Oregon Voices

First Sport Oregon Big Swing tournament to take place Monday, Sept. 11, at Willamette Valley Country Club in Canby

Coming up this fall, Sport Oregon is providing a new opportunity for its investors and members to network, play some golf on a terrific local course, and raise funds for the 501c6 Sport Oregon corp. On Monday, Sept. 11, the non-profit organization will host its first Sport Oregon Big Swing Golf Tournament at Willamette Valley Country Club in Canby, Ore.

The tournament, which will be a shamble format, aims to provide an elevated golf experience, creating a great opportunity to connect and build relationships with fellow participants, stakeholders and clients, while supporting Sport Oregon’s mission to drive economic impact and enhance the quality of life for all Oregonians through sport.

Plans are in the works to have a local sports personality join each foursome, while the event will feature participant gifts, food and beverage, and competitions and prizes throughout the tournament.

There are plenty of ways for Sport Oregon members and businesses to get involved in support of the Big Swing tournament and the Sport Oregon mission. Sponsorship opportunities currently available include:

• Presenting Sponsorship

Each sponsorship package includes branding exposure at the event, website and social media recognition and a foursome to join in the fun come tournament day. Additionally, Sport Oregon can create custom partnerships around the Big Swing tournament.

“The Big Swing is a great opportunity for members and local businesses to take a break from the office and further connect with their clients, fellow Sport Oregon members and business associates, all while raising funds to support Sport Oregon’s mission,” said Kristin Spear, Sport Oregon’s director of strategic partnerships.

Organizers are thrilled to host the first Big Swing tournament at Willamette Valley Country Club, an 18-hole championship course located roughly 25 miles south of downtown Portland.
