The 3rd Annual Hops for Heat Charity Golf Tournament will take place at 8:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19 with a shotgun start at Nonesuch River Golf Club in Scarborough as an effort to raise funds for the KeepMEWarm program that provides heat to families all winter long.
“We hope you will consider joining us as we bring our community together to support a very worthy cause,” says Abby Cross, Director of Operations at Landing Real Estate.
The 2024 Hops for Heat Golf Tournament gold sponsor so far is Two Lights settlement services. Silver sponsors include SMHP, People’s Choice Credit Union, Time4Printing Commercial Printing, and Sam Strumph Builders. Bronze sponsors are All Dry Restoration and Cleanup Services, and Treworgy & Baldacci Real Estate Closing Services. Golf Carts are sponsored by North Star Mortgage, and Julie Francis from State Farm Insurance is sponsoring the beverage cart.
Thanks to last year’s fundraising efforts, the 2022 Hops for Heat charity golf tournament raised $20,000 for the KeepMEWarm program though corporate sponsorships, raffle tickets, and proceeds from sales of beer brewed specifically for the cause.
Donations are distributed through a formula based on federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program percentages and population, and are used to assist individuals directly, or designated to local organizations that provide emergency fuel assistance, including faith-based programs and nonprofit agencies.
The tournament also provides sponsorship opportunities for local businesses. Being a sponsor of Hops for Heat means benefiting the KeepMEWarm program, while receiving company exposure.
There is usually around 100 participants, according to Cross. There are games to participate in such as closest to the pin or longest drive, and players may receive prizes from the games and raffles. Lunch is later provided and at the end of the tournament, winners are announced, and prizes are handed out.
Additional sponsorship opportunities include sponsoring specific parts of the event, such as the Lunch, Breakfast, Bar and Drink and Golf Carts with prices ranging from $1,000 to $2,000. Raffle sponsors range from $300 to $500 and raffle items will be provided.
There is a range of sponsorship levels, each with its own benefits. Gold sponsors, for $2,500, receive perks of registration for a four-person team, a prominent logo display on the Landing Real Estate website and a large banner at the event, recognition on the Facebook event page and opportunities to promote at the banquet.
Silver sponsorship is $1,500 and includes registration for a four-person team, a logo display on the website and a large banner at the event, and recognition on the Facebook event page.
For $1,000 a bronze sponsor receives registration for a four-person team, a logo display on the website and recognition on the Facebook event page. There are two spots available for gold sponsors, and unlimited space for silver and bronze.
The Hops for Heat project was started in 2017 by Landing Real Estate to raise funds directly for the KeepMEWarm program through the United Way of Southern Maine. When it began, they would hold raffles at a local brewery, but later decided to come up with a new, more interactive way to raise money for the program.
Donations are accepted in the forms of cash, checks made payable to Landing Real Estate, or Venmo username @landingrealestate. Raffle donations are also accepted as well as any gift cards, prize baskets, or golf-related items.
