5 Social Distancing Charity Golf Tournament Activation Ideas
Golf tournaments have become a popular fundraising event for non-profit organizations and groups. Hosting a successful charity or fundraising golf tournament requires developing a fun day for your event sponsors and players. From on-course contests to post-tournament award dinners, many golf tournament activation ideas need people to be close.
Today, however, some events need to be social-distancing friendly or offer exciting ways for people to participate without being in a crowd. Fortunately, the following exciting sponsor activations are perfect for any golf tournament fundraiser, whether it is socially distanced or not.
Hold A Social Media Raffle
Social media platforms present limitless opportunities for non-profits to market fundraising events. Holding various types of social media contests will provide value for your golf tournament sponsors and golfers. A raffle is one of the most popular fundraising contests that get sponsors, golfers, and the community excited about your event.
Zaniest Golf Pic Contest
During the golf tournament, have your golfers take their most creative and zaniest golf photos and post them to your social media sites with a sponsor or charity hashtag. This will promote your event and give your sponsors an added boost for their support. You can even offer a sponsor prize for the most unique photo!
Scavenger Hunt Contest
Another great idea that gets your golf tournament participants into the game is a scavenge hunt contest. Plan ahead and either place items along the course or choose objects already in place for golfers to find. Once they see the items on the scavenger hunt list, they snap a picture. You can have prizes that promote vendors and sponsors or your charity for every team that completes the scavenger hunt.
Best Dressed Golfer Competition
A best-dressed golfer competition inspires friendly competition among your event participants and is a fun ice-breaker activity. Let your golfers know ahead of time about the competition and the prize, so they show up in their best attire at your event. Ask golfers to take pictures at the sponsor and vendor tables or displays in their best-golfing outfits, and post them to social media, including the hashtag for that sponsor.
Final Thoughts
Social distancing doesn’t mean that your fundraising golf tournament event can’t boost sponsor awareness or is lacking in fun. With these creative ideas, your tournament will be the talk of the town, which is beneficial for your non-profit and your sponsors.
