Miami Lakes veterans committee launches planning for a golf fundraiser and seeks sponsors
Summary
The committee agreed to create a subcommittee to plan a veterans fundraiser golf tournament at Miami Lakes Golf Course, discussed sponsorship tiers and early expenses, and planned outreach to the Chamber of Commerce and potential sponsors.
The Town of Miami Lakes Veterans Committee began formal planning for a golf tournament fundraiser intended to raise money for veterans programs and scholarships.
Committee members agreed to form a subcommittee charged with developing event logistics, sponsor tiers and a fundraising package. The discussion covered venue options (committee members cited Miami Lakes Golf Course), potential sponsorship levels (examples: title/platinum, breakfast, beverage and hole sponsors), early expenses such as course deposits and initial fundraising materials, and a rough timeline. Committee members noted the tournament will likely require some upfront deposits and encouraged the subcommittee to produce cost estimates and a fundraising packet for presentation to the Chamber of Commerce and local businesses.
Members debated scheduling considerations to avoid back‑to‑back major events and suggested holding the tournament in a non‑peak period (committee members mentioned spring or November as possibilities) so it would not conflict with the committee's annual 5K or reindeer‑run events. A member expressed optimism about sponsor interest and said past local events raised significant funds; the committee asked staff to convene a subcommittee and to develop a detailed budget and sponsorship pitch for council briefing.
The committee did not set a final date or budget at the meeting but authorized the subcommittee to meet, gather cost estimates, and prepare a council briefing with answers to timing, liabilities and expected fundraising targets.
