Reservations are now being accepted for fun, friendship and networking opportunities at the National Auto Body Council's (NABC's) annual Golf Fundraiser, Jan. 15, 2014, at the Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort in Palm Springs, CA.
A highlight of the golf event will be presentation of a Recycled Rides vehicle donated by presenting sponsor Hertz to a local Palm Springs area resident.
The annual fundraising event is one of the NABC's major sources of funding to support its ongoing programs to promote the image of the collision industry. In addition to the popular Recycled Rides, NABC also offers two other community service programs: First Responder Emergency Extrication (FREE), and the Distracted Driving Initiative.
Individual entry fees are $175 or $650 for a foursome. Each registered foursome can also sign up for a hole sponsorship for an additional $100 donation. Entry fees include breakfast prior to the 10 a.m. shotgun start, post-tournament buffet reception, prize package drawings and awards ceremony.
The Golf Fundraiser is being held in conjunction with the National Auto Body Council’s Board meeting the previous day, Jan. 14. All golf event participants are welcome to attend the open Board meeting.
"We urge anyone who is a stakeholder in the collision industry to join us in supporting the work of the National Auto Body Council by participating in this Golf Fundraiser," David Merrell of Parts Trader and Domenic Brusco of PPG, co-chairs of the NABC fundraising committee, said in a press release. "What better way to establish new or strengthen existing relationships than by getting together with peers and colleagues in a fun, relaxed environment, with a common goal to promote programs that benefit our collision industry."
A number of other opportunities are still available for participants to highlight their businesses — including sponsorships for beverage cart, driving range, putting green, and others. Businesses are also welcome to donate prizes, raffle items, or gift items for tee bags.
Interested golfers and sponsors are encouraged to register as soon as possible for this popular NABC Golf Fundraiser which has traditionally been a sold-out event.
