Amador County – The Amador County Chamber of Commerce plans its main benefit event of the year, the annual Chamber Benefit Golf Tournament for Friday, May 18 at Castle Oaks Golf Course in Ione.

Chamber office manager Diane Sherbourne also sent out a membership info “blast” that the tournament needs its members’ help. The event is the main fundraising event for Chamber, and it is a tax deductible donation because the Chamber is a non-profit organization.

Chamber members can do several things to help, including volunteering to help run the tournament. Members can also donate raffle prizes, and items for golfer packages, in amounts of 128 each, such as candy bars, golf balls, pens, hand towels, gift certificates or discounts for businesses. 

Members can also enter to play golf. The $85 per player includes 18 holes of golf with dinner, a golf cart, range-balls and prizes. People can also become a hole sponsor for $100 to advertise their businesses. And for $400, members can buy a Company Package which includes a foursome for golf, and a Hole Sponsor package.

Other sponsorship opportunities include the Gold, Silver and Bronze packages, and members can get more information by contacting the Chamber office for details. Volunteers will make a call to follow up in the near future.

Visit the Amador County Chamber of Commerce at 115 Main Street in Jackson for information, or call (209) 223-0350.
