GOLF:

The day begins with a hearty brunch, the driving range — where there will be an accuracy contest, sponsored by Goldcast — and a tantalizing putting contest, sponsored by Yahoo Finance. There will be additional skill contests during the golf tourney, including Longest Drive (Men / Women), and Closest to the Pin, sponsored by SmartBrief. On the course, you’ll find a hot dog/beer cart — plus additional snacks/beer. We’ll also have our traditional 19th Hole Shoot-Out Contest, sponsored by Dianomi. Among the giveaways at the event will be sleeves of golf balls, sponsored by 2112.

Golfers reserving foursomes are invited to upgrade to a Corporate Sponsorship with our appreciation! Our thanks to our first corporate sponsor: Reuters.

TENNIS:

Tennis players will enjoy three hours of play, including a one-hour clinic led by the Club’s tennis pro. [Note: all whites are NOT required for tennis attire at the Club.] While the tennis “competition” will emphasize fun, there will be prizes, sponsored by Goldcast.

Fans of the FCS are invited to sponsor all Golf & Tennis contests and give-aways. Details here, custom packages available.

Note: there is a $25 per person fee to be eligible to participate in all of the Contests and Raffles (Lululemon sweatshirts!). The FCS will match the collected Contest Fees 2-to-1, and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to our three Race for Kids charities: Make-A-Wish of Vermont, Hope & Heroes Columbia University Medical Center, and Downey Side Adoption Agency. Thank you for helping our fundraising efforts.

After golf and tennis, complimentary chair massages, sponsored by Goldcast, will be available for all players once they come off the courts and the course.

During a BBQ buffet/cocktail reception sponsored by FOX Business, we’ll announce winners and prizes.
