The Word on the Streets: TICKETS Fore CHARITY™ is a No-Brainer

Friday, July 10th, 2009

wgc_logo21“This is a No-Brainer.” That is what so many people have told me when I have asked them for help to get the word out on this. When I tell them the PGA Tour will donate 100% of the proceeds for a Good Any One Day Gallery Ticket through the TICKETS Fore CHARITYTM program, they just smile and say, “This is a No-Brainer!”

Why we need your help:

Over 100,000 tickets will be sold in July and the first week of August for The World Golf Championship - Bridgestone Invitational, at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio,  August 4 thru August 9. Anyone purchasing a ticket can choose to donate 100% of the ticket purchase price to charity to help youth. My job is to get the word out to as many people as possible because you have to click the right area on the Bridgestone Invitational website for that to happen. Imagine, the number of youth we can help just because people know they have the option to donate 100% of their ticket purchase to charity. That is why I am asking for your help.

 There is no limit to the amount the PGA Tour will donate. The only limitation is people buying a gallery ticket and not doing it on the TICKETS Fore CHARITYTM part of the website.

tfcSo Here’s the SCOOP:

Be There, Do This, Golfers

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Most would agree there is nothing like watching a championship game being played on HDTV. Whether it is tennis, basketball, baseball or golf, there is something better and that is being there.

Being there is inspiring, motivating and it locks the moment in your memory forever. Here’s why: Your body registers the true feeling of the moment. Let’s look at golf. Being there you hear the sound of a powerful drive and from that moment on, you yourself are driven to recreate that same sound in your own drives from the tee. You see and feel that perfect chip onto the green landing one foot from the cup. You’ve seen it, heard it and felt it and from that moment on you strive to reproduce that moment in your own game. Or how about seeing someone make a putt for $1 Million Dollars? You hear the silence, you see the concentration and then you feel the joy as the ball disappears from sight into the cup. You experience the exhilarating excitement of what just happened, reinforced by the roar of the crowd. And for myself, next time I sink that 12-foot putt, I’ll hear the roar of the crowd.

In anything you do, when you see it, feel it and hear it, it makes it so much easier to achieve it!

Here is an opportunity to put this into action. Both youth & adults will be inspired, motivated and create a lifelong memory.

Youth 4 Youth is proud to partner with the PGA 2009 World Golf Championships - Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament through TICKETS Fore CHARITYTM, where 100% of the net proceeds from each ticket go directly to charity. Yes, I said 100%. All of it! So I can’t begin to tell you how excited and energized we are by this opportunity. This allows us to maximize our fundraising efforts so we can spend all of our valuable time making a difference in the lives of youth. While you or others you know who may be interested have the opportunity to enjoy watching the best golfers in the world at this prestigious event, not to mention the beauty of the grounds at Firestone Country Club, in Akron, Ohio, August 4 - 9, 2009.

Basketball and Life Skills

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Head coach of Covenant girls basketball team FIRED. Wow! Teaching the qualities of integrity, heart, ability, honor and teamwork can be tough. Beating another team 100-0. Many people are divided on this. Is everyone looking at the poor me syndrome – “Look at these poor girls who got beat or were they victims of defeat” I know when I get my butt kicked there is a lot of personal growth in it. What is your opinion? If you were either team – what would be your thoughts and feelings and reasons why?
