32nd Annual PLA Golf Classic

On behalf of the Philadelphia Lacrosse Association, I would like to invite you to participate in the 2024 PLA Golf Classic to be held on Monday, October 21 st at Philmont Country Club in Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania. We are excited to return to Philmont, which hosted our event last year. Philmont’s North Course is ranked among the great traditional, “must play” golf courses in the Philadelphia region.

Your participation will support the PLA’s nonprofit mission, as a chapter of US Lacrosse, to promote lacrosse in the Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania, particularly our New Start Program, which provides technical and financial assistance to new lacrosse programs. Last year’s PLA Outing featured 100 golfers and 60 corporate and individual sponsors and raised over $27,000. The proceeds from the outing helped the PLA do the following:

· Support the PIAA Public Lacrosse League and youth and middle programs in Philadelphia and beyond (including Eyekonz, Harlem Lacrosse, Youth Mentoring Program and others);

· Continue our stick donation and refurbishing program, which benefits teams in the City and Greater Philadelphia;

· Organize/underwrite PASLA’s High School Awards Recognition Banquet;

· Conduct/sponsor coaches’ clinics;

· Maintain the USA Lacrosse Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter Hall of Fame, which inducted the Class of 2023 this past September; and

· Promote diversity and inclusion in the sport.

Attached is a flyer with more information regarding the event and its festive format. We would welcome your and your company’s participation and sponsorship to help ensure the outing’s success. All sponsors will be recognized prominently in PLA communications.

Please reserve your spot in the outing by completing the registration form and returning it to me as soon as possible, but in any event before Wednesday, October 16th. Space in the outing is limited and registrations will be processed on a first come, first served basis.

As in the past, the PLA Golf Classic promises to be a fully subscribed and memorable one. So please come out, catch up with good friends and join the fun, and, at the same time, help make it possible for even more boys and girls in our region to discover the joy of America’s native game. Hope to see you there, thanks for your consideration and continuing support.
