Perking Up the Fairway: How Java House Brews Creative Golf Fundraising featuring Michael Sullivan
Fundraising creativity has its challenges, but sometimes the perfect recipe is right in front of you, hidden within everyday habits. We’re talking about combining a favorite pastime—the game of golf, with a beloved daily beverage – coffee, and a classic fundraiser—the golf tournament. Together, this trifecta sets the stage for a memorable, community-centric fundraising event.
Golf tournaments have long been successful fundraising events for many nonprofits. They attract foursomes, corporate sponsors, high-end raffles, on-course gamification, mulligan sales, and a whole lot of fun. These tournaments often include breakfast or après-golf events, with additional revenue from auctions and dinners. Most golf tournaments have an early morning shotgun start.
Now think about it—what do most people love in the morning? Their coffee.
Few understand this better than Java House in Carmel, Indiana. Known for the best-tasting coffee you’ve ever had and wholeheartedly endorsed by Steve Johns, CEO at OneCause, Java House serves coffee with a higher purpose through a philanthropic program that’s gaining popularity.
In this episode of Raise Nation Radio, Michael Sullivan joins us to explore the program he affectionately refers to as Java Joy. He explains how Java House donates products and labor to help create memorable golf fundraising experiences in the Carmel, Indiana area. It’s a perfect blend of win-win and deliciousness.
