Officials with the Standardbred Retirement Foundation have issued a pair of media releases – one with the details of the group’s annual golf tournament, and the other with the details of an upcoming meet and greet.
The SRF'S 23rd annual golf outing will take place on May 26.
This year the event has returned to Knob Hill Country Club in Manalapan, NJ. On May 26, day after Memorial Day, lunch will start at 11 a.m. and the Million Dollar Shot will start at 1 p.m. Come grab a golf cart and watch the athletes head out on the greens for a great day of competition including awesome prizes, relaxation and some good old camaraderie, all the while raising funds for the horses who have served them well.
The very popular event sells out every year and is an integral fundraiser for SRF to help upkeep nearly 200 trotters and pacers all hoping for homes. Unlike any other charity, SRF has retirees pensioned at the cost of nearly $26,000 every month in addition to 74 others that are adoptable and waiting for homes.
The total cost for this fun filled event which includes lunch, greens fees, cocktails, a full buffet dinner and dessert, prizes such as an iPad Air, live and sealed bid auctions that will be online and at the event, trivia fun, a raffle and more is only $195 when paid by May 22, 2015. Sponsorships offer full signage on the greens and continued signage throughout cocktails and dinner, coverage on the eight-foot media screen, in the program and newsletter, and some include a personalized sponsorship logo item for all guests. If you do not golf then simply join for the lively conversation, cocktails and dinner for $59.
The SRF appreciates new sponsors for the event, and gifts for the auctions or raffles such as tickets to sporting events, services, vacations, gift cards and any other similar items. In past years items included a Pennsbury Track Trainer, Bow River Gift Card, a harness from Finn Tack, Disney tickets, starting gate rides, stake services, veterinary services, a full body scan from Mid-Atlantic Equine, Hogan Equine Clinic services, Yankee tickets, a Spyder bike, a tour of NBC Studios, fine wine and much more. If you cannot physically be present and wish to bid, items will be available for bidding on SRF's website (adoptahorse.org) starting May 15 - 26. Phone bids will be welcomed for some items.
