On Saturday, June 12th, Whitewater will see its 13th Annual Bethel House Golf Event. I received the following letter and flyer about the event, that I am happy to post. The full letter and brochure may be viewed, downloaded, and printed through the links below.
The proceeds from this fundraiser are used entirely to support Bethel House, an ecumenical project with six housing units for families in need of shelter and providing other support services in the Whitewater area. During the last fifteen years, Bethel House has provided 75 families with housing and helped many more families with financial assistance for rent or utilities, household items, food, or referral services.
This year’s Golf Event will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2010. The day’s special activities will include golf, lunch, prize drawing, and awards ceremony. Participating as a sponsor or golfer is very important to Bethel House. This major fundraiser helps cover the costs of operation. Your contribution, large or small, will help to make this a special day for Bethel House. Sponsors for the respective holes will have their names prominently displayed at the tee for the hole that they are hosting.
We are looking forward to a great day on the course with a 9:00 AM shotgun start using a best ball scramble format. This year’s event features a $10,000 Hole-In-One prize provided by Binning and Dickens Insurance, as well as many other hole prizes for the participants. Foursome prizes for 1st, 4th, 7th, & 11th place will also be awarded. Costs for this year’s event are $50 of which $19 is tax-deductible. Fees include the 9 holes of golf, many individual and team prizes, and buffet lunch. Every golfer that registers by June 5th will be entered into a drawing for a special grand prize.
Nine Whitewater area churches, the Whitewater community, and the United Way of Jefferson and North Walworth Counties support Bethel House through subscriptions, grants, donations, and time and talents. In addition, many individuals, businesses, and organizations support Bethel House through their generous donations and efforts. For an overview of the Bethel House mission and stories of families whose lives have been helped, please see our website at www.bethelhouseinc.org. It is easy to donate via the website, as well as learn of other ways you can help.
The sponsors and volunteers of this year’s Golf Event hope that this year’s effort will result in a significant contribution towards the funds needed to annually operate Bethel House.
Come join in the fun! We look forward to seeing you and thank you for your continued support.
