VENTURA COUNTY — Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County (BBSVC) is seeking a philanthropically-minded Title Sponsor to help commemorate the 50th anniversary of the agency’s annual Golf Classic. BBSVC’s Golf Classic is the organization’s top-performing event, which delivers the funds necessary to support mentoring programs for over 1000 youth facing adversity in Ventura County.
This year’s tournament will be held on Monday, May 8, 2023. The BBSVC Golf Classic is returning to The Spanish Hills Club in Camarillo for a day of golf, entertainment, giveaways, auctions, and the 50th Anniversary After-Party. “A Title Sponsor who aligns with our agency’s mission of youth mentorship would help BBSVC make a powerful statement that we are ready to come together as a community to support youth connectivity, individual youth success, and youth mental health,” says BBSVC CEO Danica Selvaggio.
Donations from sponsorships, admission, auctions, and general donations all support BBSVC’s long-term mentoring programs, which include both one-to-one mentoring matches and group mentoring. In addition to the Title Sponsorship, valued at $40,000, other sponsorships that support the agency are available at varying levels of financial and in-kind involvement. Golfers interested in participating are encouraged to register early – the event is already halfway to selling out (although additional tickets will be made available to the After-Party).
“This year we’re doing things differently,” says Selvaggio. “Our 50th anniversary of the event is a big deal and we’re going to celebrate. Guests can expect live music and new opportunities to have fun as they learn more about our youth mentoring programs, and how they’re helping us make a difference.”
If you are interested in sponsoring or participating in this year’s Golf Classic, please contact Kathleen Leonard at 805-891-9458 or visit www.bbsvc.org/golf for more information.
