Racing Officials Host Golf Fundraiser
Harness Racing PEI Sports
The Stretch Drive Fund will hold its second annual Golf Tournament” at Fox Meadow Golf Club in Stratford, PEI on Wednesday, August 19th 2009. (SHOTGUN START 8:00am)
The Fund, a project of the Maritime Provinces Harness Racing Officials was established to help address the needs of individuals and families involved in the harness racing industry in the Maritime Provinces who have fallen on hard times for various reasons. It also has established a scholarship, which is awarded each year to deserving students whose families are involved in harness racing in the Maritimes. To date, the Fund, which is overseen by the MPHRC and the Senior Judges Committee, has distributed $14,500.
The tournament is limited to 20 teams at a cost of $75 per individual golfer or $300 per team or 4. Interested golfers can register by contacting the MPHRC (902-836-5500) or one of your local track officials. It gives participants a chance to watch some great races during Old Home Week and enjoy a day of golf with friends.
Your contribution last year was greatly appreciated and helped make the tournament a success. With your help, we raised over $7000. The purpose of this letter is to request your continued support by once again co-sponsoring a hole for $100. In addition, if you are able to supply a donation of 4 prizes (t-shirts, hats, mug, etc.) which will be presented to each member of a 4 man team, it would be appreciated. Each sponsor will have a sign in the tee box area of the hole they co-sponsor and will be mentioned in any media releases including an insert in the race program at each of the eight Maritime Race Tracks. One hundred percent of the proceeds go into the Fund.
Cheques should be made payable to MPHRC/The Stretch Drive Fund, and may be mailed to the following address. The deadline for team registrations is July 28, 2009.
