For example - Golf Days (give back day, auction, ladies day, member day, skins games, donation basket, hole contest, fun on-course hole competitions, etc.) • Run • Car Race • Tennis Tournament • 100 Hole Hike • Bike Race • Bowling • Dinner/Gala • Concert • Crowdfunding • Shopping Give Back • Raffle • Auction • Your Choice – Create Your Own
-
Once you complete the Affiliate Event registration an Els for Autism Canada Foundation Golf Challenge staff member will contact you within five business days and provide an update on your qualification status. Please note, your event and date cannot conflict with any of the scheduled 2019 Golf Challenge Regional Events in the U.S. or Canada. These events and dates are all listed on the e4agolf.com website.

All Affiliate Events who raise $18,000CAD or more qualify to attend the 2022 Grand Finale at The Grand Hyatt Baha Mar in Nassau, Bahamas, on October 3-5, 2022. Affiliate Events raising $30,000 join the VIP Golden Circle Club, which includes an extra night of hotel accommodation and an exclusive VIP Reception with Ernie and Liezl Els at the Grand Finale.
Make your Affiliate Event about doing something you, family, friends, and colleagues enjoy doing.
How to run a successful affiliate event
COLLECT DONATIONS
We recommend collecting donations by asking your guests to make cheques payable to ‘Els for Autism Canada’ and note your Affiliate Event name in the memo line. The guests will receive a donation receipt from the Foundation for their contribution.
COLLECT REGISTRATION/EVENT TICKETS
Affiliate Events are responsible for collecting and managing payment and registration for their events. We recommend collecting registration and/or event tickets by using this method:
You collect all the funds (payable to you) and then write one personal check to ‘Els for Autism Canada’ and mail the cheque to the Foundation. Please note that event attendees will not be able to receive donation receipts for registration of events using this method.
SPREAD THE WORD
Tell everyone about your event/fundraiser. The more people that know, the quicker you’ll reach your fundraising goal!
