In addition to
sponsorship of our existing events, there are many ways to involve your
employees, civic or
social organizations with the important mission of WPFT. Uniquely
appealing to many
community volunteers is that the money raised in this community stays
here to help the women
affected with cancer in Central Florida. Below are a few examples,
but the opportunities
are endless.
Corporate Partnerships
Forming corporate
partnerships with WPFT is an excellent way for corporations to give
back to the community.
WPFT is also proud to be named the charitable beneficiary for
existing corporate and
community events and initiatives. Some examples of WPFT ongoing
partnerships in the
community are with Panera Bread’s Pink Ribbon Bagels promotion,
Brighton Collectibles’
Power of Pink promotion, Orlando Rowing Club’s Masters Regatta,
OARS Masters Regatta,
Bloomingdale’s Walk For T.I.M.E., Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Orlando International Dragon
Boat Festival, Tavistock
Cup, Walgreen's and many more.
Host a Satellite Golf or
Tennis Tournament
Host a breast cancer
charity golf or tennis tournament at your home club and donate the
proceeds to WPFT. We can
provide you with a guidelines brochure to aid you in organizing
a successful tournament,
as Orange Tree Golf Club and The Golden Bear Club at Keene’s
Pointe Country Club have
done. These are two golf communities that have rallied around
their chairman and
membership to create two very successful golf tournaments.
Sponsor a Flag
Sponsor a personalized
flag “In Celebration Of,” “In Support Of ” or “In Memory Of ” a
loved one to represent
the men and women in our lives who have been touched by cancer.
These flags are
displayed at the Two-Day WPFT Tournament held at Lake Nona Golf &
Country Club in October.
Host a Fundraising Event
Hold a fundraiser to
benefit breast cancer research for WPFT and MD Anderson –
Orlando. Simply contact
the WPFT office for their fundraising form and fill out and submit
to the committee for
approval. Examples of successful fundraising events in the past are
in-store promotions,
bingo night, Bunco night, pink parties, bridge tournaments, walks,
luncheons, gift wrapping
tables and school functions.
