25TH ANNIVERSARY BANK OF AMERICA CHAMPIONSHIP IS ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS FOR SOME COMMITTEES
May 11, 2005:
CONCORD, Mass - The twenty-fifth anniversary Bank of America Championship, which takes place at Nashawtuc Country Club in Concord June 20-26, is accepting volunteers on a number of volunteer committees, including the special events, scoring command, standard bearer (great for kids over 13), merchandise and pro-am committees.
About 1,500 volunteers, who have an unparalleled opportunity to "get inside the game" with top professional golfers, help staff the tournament. Tournament director Tracy West says these volunteers are champions for charitable giving and have helped the tournament donated nearly $3.8 million to local charities over its 24-year history.
The Bank of America Championship is the only place in New England golf fans can enjoy highly competitive PGA TOUR Champions Tour golf with its fan friendly environment. This year, spectators can expect a variety of twenty-fifth anniversary events and the usual interactive fan favorites like the gallery in the fairway during championship play. Early player commitments include defending champion Craig Stadler, Bruce Fleisher, Larry Nelson, Jim Thorpe, Bob Gilder and Don Pooley, Dana Quigley and Allen Doyle.
No special experience is necessary to be a volunteer, only a love of golf. In addition to an unparalleled opportunity to get inside the game, Volunteers receive a golf shirt and outerwear clothing or second shirt, baseball cap, visor, bucket hat or straw hat, volunteer parking pass, volunteer badge good for admission throughout tournament week, lunch vouchers on work days, volunteer party and five extra good-any-one-day tickets.
The total retail value of this package is more than $330, but the cost to a volunteer is $60. This volunteer fee not only helps defray the costs of the uniforms, but also represents a major contribution to tournament charities.
