SON 100 Golf Marathon - Tee Off Party with ProFund Northwest
Do you value connecting, collaboration & convergence? These are Kingdom values that facilitate city-wide transformation. They are also essential to seeing people encounter God for the first time, to helping them grow in their faith and to seeing them realize their full potential and their assignment for His Purposes, His Kingdom & His Glory.
So much of what we are experiencing today is the fruit of God’s people connecting with each other in real meaningful and trusting relationships, them laying down their agendas to collaboration with each other for a much greater purpose and then seeing our community come to a place of convergence, wherein each person is awake to what is taking place around them, trained & understanding their role and function, so that they can intentionally engage to others, under His Leadership & operating from a place of His Shalom (fullness, completeness & peace).
Our newest Portland bridge, especially designed for serving our neighbors (no cars allowed). Who thinks & builds such a bridge? People that value community, collaboration & convergence! This is what Serving Our Neighbors is all about! Join with us to Connect, Educate & Engage so that the Spiritual, Social, Economic & Environmental conditions of our communities are transformed into His Kingdom & for His Glory!
We did not just arrive here, but rather we are experiencing the hand of God responding to many years of intentional prayers. Prayer that is beyond crying out to Him like babes, begging Him like toddlers & asking Him like teenagers, but rather prayers of Agreement with His Word (what He has already declared that He wants to do in the earth) and what He has been be revealing to His people for hundreds (if not thousands of years). Now, we believe that He is demanding of us to PUSH even more! To Pray Until Something Happens, to agree with Him until His Will and His Kingdom is manifested on the earth as it is in Heaven. We are in a place of Transition, experiencing an expanding Ring of Fire, as His Kingdom is beginning to Crown! What's next?
This may sound crazy, and you may think we’re nuts, but WE WANT YOU to play 100 holes of golf with us on Saturday, September 6th at 7am at the Charbonneau Golf Club. With nominal participation from 40 volunteers, $100,000 or more, can be raised in the next few weeks to support Serving Our Neighbors (& even your own favorite 501 C3 non-profit organization).
We just need 40 passionate champions willing to help support SON.
We have made a commitment, and now WE NEED YOU! We are inviting you to participate on our SON 100 Team! We promise you, this will not take a lot of your time. We need volunteers who will commit to following the steps of this proven program, which will raise significant dollars for SON. You can even win some great prizes.
You can be a "SON 100 Participant"
Here is what we are asking each "Participant" to commit to:
- Show up on Saturday, September 6th at 7am [breakfast and lunch included] to play your 100 holes of golf! *Not as hard as it may seem, as we tweak the rule book, playing on the course all to ourselves, having some unique fun.
- Sponsor yourself for at least $1/hole, and
- Give your best effort to raise a minimum of $25 per hole ($2,500) from your spheres of influence. This is easier than you think as people will be more than happy to support you in your commitment to SON and your favorite NPO. This can be done in less than 5 hours. Here are all the tools that you need.
In addition, SON will split everything that you raise 50%, wherein half goes to SON and half goes to your favorite NPO (less our fundraising campaign expenses, ONLY 18.5%).
You can also be a "SON 100 Team Captain"!
We need 6-10 Team Captains to accomplish the above 1 – 2 – 3 and put together a team of foursome of participants (including yourself).
We have created a simple website for our SON 100 and it’s the key to our success. It’s the easy-to-use place- where you enter your sponsor’s pledge information. The goal is to get pledges from those you know: friends, family, colleagues, associates. Our site will send them a thank you note, tax deductible letter, and details on how/where they can send their sponsorship amounts. Easy as a tap-putt. Sign up HERE!
People give to People…all you have to do is ASK and we can significantly help SON to partner with Him to release radical collaboration, strategic prayer and the mobilization of hands and feet in this community.
Don't golf or can't attend on Sept 6th? NO Problem! Just make a $100 pledge, reach out to your network asking others to match your pledge and then join us for lunch. Here are all the tools that you need. As a non-golfing participant, YOU can still win prizes and most of all make a BIG difference for Serving Our Neighbors (& your favorite NPO).
To learn more (or if you have questions on how you can raise funds for your favorite NPO) join us on Wednesday, August 13th from 7:30am-9am at our new SON Office & on Wednesday, August 20th from 1:30pm-2:30pm at Hayden's Grill in Tualatin.. We will be introducing this really cool funding model for NPO's (that was developed by Josh McDowell Ministries & has been used by 6,000+ campaigns to raise more than $240 million for small local NPO's.)
