CHIP-IN FOR CHUMS

It is time to have a Tee-rific time on the greens as you get ready to Chip in for Chums! We have got some great golf fundraising ideas from organising small scale tournaments to full on golfing challenges. So, take hold of your clubs, head out to your local golf course and help CHUMS to continue providing essential mental health and emotional support services to children, young people, adults and families in need.

Together we can make a difference to help to ensure CHUMS IS HOPE.

Ways to get involved.

Organise your own Charity golf day.

Golf tournaments and special charity fundraising days are always popular so you will have a winning formula by creating your own charity golf day. Before you start to plan, think about how many people you would like to play and how you can promote your day to encourage participants.

Choose your golf club – Contact your local golf club or perhaps you have a favourite course you’d love to play and negotiate a charity course fee for everyone to play. You could include meals and drinks in your cost per golfer and include and optional fee to try to boost your fundraising.

Secure some great raffle and auction prizes. This will help encourage everyone to buy raffle tickets.

Include some competitions on the day like nearest the pin, longest drive so that everyone is in with the chance of winning something, not forgetting the Hole in One or the ever-handy Mulligan!

Take on the longest day Golf Challenge.

Can you take on 72 holes in one day to raise funds for Chums. You will need lots of day light hours as you will be playing from sunrise to sunset. 21st June is good, but it can be on a day or your choice in the summer.

Play 72 holes (that’s 4 rounds) to support CHUMS.

Tee off at your local course at the crack of dawn. Swing and chip away at every single hole until you reach the very last one. Tired and weary you will finish a true hero of golf.

Gather your team or teams – The Fabulous Four for a fantastic day on your favourite course.

Date: Play on the Longest day or any date of your choice in the summer

Place: Choose your course you would love to play.
