Going for the Green!: An Insider's Guide to Raising Money With Charity Golf

Golf tournaments and fundraising auctions have proven to be two of the highest grossing special events. Sure, they take loads of work, but when receipts total $10,000, $25,000, $100,000 or more, it's easy to forget the hours put in. If you want to try your hand at either of these events, now's the time to form your exploratory committee. And there's no better way to equip them than with one of these books: Going for the Green! An Insider's Guide to Raising Money with Charity Golf, by Tom King, and Everything You Need to Know to Raise Money (and Have Fun) with a Charity Auction, by Robert Baird. In easily digestible prose, both books walk you from Step A to Step Z, and both include appendices with all the sample forms and checklists you'll need (e.g. job descriptions, committee agendas, budget worksheets, timelines, and more). And there's a bonus: you can read either of these books in the time it takes to play the back nine. Even less if you're a real duffer.
