Email Language for MMO Board – Sponsorship Solicitation
For past sponsors:
Thank you for your past support ofthe Middle Market Open, the golf tournament of the summer for the private equity/venture capital and middle market deal community. We hope that we can count on your participation again for the14th Annual Middle Market Open on Monday, July 30, 2018 at Shoreacres, OnwentsiaClub and Conway Farms.
Last year, we added a third course and reduced the number of players on each course which allowed for much faster play and an enriched on-course experience.
In addition to the golf tournament featuring 18 holes of championship-level golf on exclusive venues and great prizes, participants will enjoy cocktails and dinner with industry colleagues at Onwentsia Club along with opportunities to bid on exclusive “bucket list” golf-centric silent auction packages and the chance to win fabulous raffle prizes.
Since the event’s inauguration in 2005, the Middle Market Open has raised nearly $6 million to support the life-saving programs of the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois (NKFI). At last year’s thirteenth anniversary event, the Middle Market Open raised more than $750,000.
Attached is our sponsorship package with full details. I encourage you to commit early to confirm your spot as first-paid Gold Sponsors and above will have priority in course choice.
We have sold out every year and from the responses we are getting to date, this year will sell out earlier than ever.
