Helicopter Golf Ball Drop - A profitable golf tournament fundraiser

Being creative and unique is the key in today's fundraising arena. Gone are the days of companies just handing over money to your organization because they like you. One must search out other means to fundraise in conjunction with a golf tournament or other type of event.
A Helicopter Golf Ball Drop is a wonderful program that can be extremely profitable to the organization and typically relies on individual donors rather than that of corporations. A helicopter golf ball drop also targets the large portion of an organizations data base that is not currently participating with the golf tournament, for a variety of reasons. They don't play golf, can't get away from work, don't have a large budget etc...They typically do have $10 or $20 to fork over for a chance to win a nice prize.
One recent helicopter golf ball drop conducted by the Camelback Inn Ladies Golf Association in Scottsdale, AZ raised an astounding $33,000 that benefited Wounded Wear and USMC Wounded Warrior Regiment . This is a fine example of what can be done to fundraise if you set your minds to it and think "outside the box".
Once a golf ball drop website is designed and distributed, the majority of the work is over and you just watch the new fundraising monies roll in. It can be the easiest fundraising program that you will ever do. Happy flying!
