We would like to thank you in advance for your consideration of a sponsorship for and or participation in the 7th annual Panhandle Charitable Open (PCO). 
This tournament, originally started as a small fundraiser by members of the Marcus Pointe Men’s Golf Association, has grown into a high quality golf tournament supporting several local charities. The Panhandle Charitable Open, a 501c3 non profit organization has raised thousands of dollars for local charities thanks to the generous support of businesses and individuals like you. The success in recent years of the PCO enabled our board to donate over $70,000 to charities such as Child Guardians, Inc., the Dreams of Joy Foundation, and the Ensley GED Program, Council on Aging of West Florida, ARC Gateway, Manna Food Bank, Escambia Charter School, Gulf Coast Kids House, and Covenant Hospice. The primary charities this year will be Child Guardians, Inc., Council on Aging of West Florida, and Gulf Coast Kids House. Increasing the number of charities that participate highlights a goal of the PCO to continue to expand the impact and reach of our golf tournament
This tournament uses a 2-day, 2-person Best Ball format which is unique to charity tournaments in that it allows each player to play their own ball from tee to green. Teams will be flighted after the first day in order to group teams by skill level. We are expanding the possible playing times to allow for additional participation as well as attempting to maintain a reasonable pace of play. The tournament will be played Friday, September 19, 2008 and Saturday, September 20, 2008. Tee Times are Friday 1:00PM Shotgun Start with Registration at 11:30AM and Saturday 8:30AM Shotgun Start with Registration at 7:30AM. All players and their spouses/guests will be treated to live music and dinner provided by Carrabba's Italian Grill after play on Friday.
We welcome your participation in the 7th Annual Panhandle Charitable Open as we continue to build this event into the premiere charity golf tournament in the panhandle. Please feel free to contact any of the golf committee members for additional information.
