Football booster club to host golf tournament fundraiser

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Football Boosters Inc is having their first Fundraising Golf Tournament Friday, June 9, at the Cross Creek Golf Club, 43860 Glen Meadows Road, in Temecula.

The Fallbrook Football Boosters is a nonprofit club whose mission statement is to provide the Fallbrook High School varsity and junior varsity football teams with any equipment or needed items, not covered by the school budget.

Golf and dinner is $130 a person, or teams of four can sign up for $500 per team. Teams must be age 21 and up. The number of golfers is limited to 136 individuals. A taco dinner is offered for $25 per person. Dress is casual, and dinner will be served at 5 p.m. A cash bar is also available for dinner attendees. There will be a silent auction at the dinner with several gift baskets to bid on and one surprise basket.

The club is seeking business and community sponsors for each golf hole.

"More activities are being added to this event, but we wanted to get the word out that we are currently in need of golf hole sponsors," club fundraising officer Laura Cherevchenko said. "Basically, we have 18 holes to sell to local businesses or families. For $200, you get a 24-inch by 18-inch sign with your logo on it. You can also set up a small table and hand out business cards, water, snacks or anything you come up with as long as the board approves it. We are also working on a ball drop which is essentially a fun game of chance where you bet that your ball drops closest to the bullseye. The winner will win 10% of the pot, and bets are only $10 each."

Stephanie Jones, president of the booster club, talked about the new equipment the funds raised with help acquire.

"This year the boosters are looking to raise funds to help purchase several items, but the top of the needed items are new weights and gym equipment, a five-man tackling sled and guardian caps for every player," Jones said. "If the event is successful and supported, we could bring in $20,000. We can't do this for the football teams without events like this, team sponsorships and lots of fundraising, so please consider supporting this fun event and let's give these young athletes the support they deserve."
