Sponsorship Donations
In 2021 our MN chapter marketing committee has developed a new "PARtnership" program to provide our sponsors an affordable option to partner with us for maximum exposure, and the opportunity to provide discounted services. Our chapter's intention is to utilize the PARtnership dollars by awarding free LPGA Amateur registration fees, event gifts, recognition gifts, event dollars towards meals and beverages to increase member networking, and greens fees for guests attending our inaugural member/guest event. In the future we'd like to explore providing scholarship dollars to youth golfers.
