Maynard's Rogers (Now Open)
RYHA Golf Event
RYHA TAX ID: 41-1997440
Roger Youth Hockey Association (RYHA) would like to thank you again for your participation in last year’s event. Because of your support last year’s event was the most successful year in the event’s history raising over $14K for the program. This effort helped us move to lower costs, which attracted more Mites than ever before, including two U8 Girls teams. This growth combined with our fundraising efforts will not only give each skater a better hockey experience, but hopefully continue to attract, retain and reward all skaters in the RYHA.
This year’s 17th Annual RYHA Golf Benefit will take place on:
Friday July 20th, 2018 at Fox Hollow Golf Club
Registration starts at 11 am Shotgun start at 1 pm
This event will again include 18 holes of brat lunch (NEW), golf, dinner, a silent auction, raffles, door prizes and back by popular demand, the Custom Beverage Cart.
The first 18 Hole Sponsors will be advertised on their very own custom designed Flag, which they keep after the event. With your support, Rogers Youth Hockey Association hopes to become the Gold Standard for youth hockey in our area. We are asking, as you look ahead to your 2018 budget, that you consider supporting our efforts again this year and we look forward to seeing you at the RAC and on the course in the near future.
Enclosed is a list of all sponsorship opportunities for this year’s event.
