Happy New School Year OPS family. Hope all of yall had a wonderful summer. Well my name is Andrew Walden Lacey the third and i am in twelth grade at Oakbrook Prep. I have been blessed to be attending here since the second grade, but can not wait to go to collage. So enough about me and more about my project that i hope to do.
Right now i am planning on doing a charity golf tournament to help Oakbrook Athletics. I would hold the golf tournament at River Fall Golf Course, home to the JV and Varsity Golf teams. I would hold the golf tournament in the late spring after the golf teams are finish with their seasons. I also would not just hosts the golf tournament for people to play in, but i would also sell ads for the tournament. These ads will costs more money than people probably want to buy, but it comes with great advertisement. The Ads would consist of a sign that would hang on a hole in the tournament, hang in Brad Thorne's golf clinic and also would hang in the school's gym for a whole year. The players and parents who play in this tournament along with ad sales would not only go to one specific area of athletics, it would be spread out evenly according to which sports needs the most. For example if the basketball team just got new uniforms last year, but the soccer team has not gotten new uniforms in 4 to 5 years well the soccer team has a greater needs for that than the basketball team does so the soccer team maybe get 30% of the profit the golf tournament makes while the basketball team may get 15%. Basically i am just going to set up a system of how the money will be distributed evenly and not to one individual sport.
So please board members of the Senior project board read over these post i post this school and i promise every last one of them will be very valuable in making my senior project a sucess.
Sounds exciting Walden. I have heard that the Fall 2010 Golf tournament may not be happening. Have you heard anything about that?
ReplyDeleteIt would be a good idea for you to proofread your post- maybe even consider writing it in Microsoft Word, check it fcr spelling and grammar then copy/paste it in to your blog.:)
Way to go, Walden! You have great enthusiasm for your project and a good handle on what it will take to make it a success.
ReplyDeleteI know about your excellent skill with people. They like and trust you from the first meeting. How will you follow-up? Are you developing a financial plan for marketing?
