Tickets for Charity in Full Swing

The Herkimer County Courier reported that charities from throughout Upstate New York are raising much-needed funds through The Turning Stone Resort Championship’s Tickets for Charity program. This is the fourth year of the initiative, administered in conjunction with the official PGA TOUR event scheduled for Aug. 2 -8 at the Oneida Indian Nation’s Atunyote Golf Club.

Now through July 30, participating charitable organizations are selling tickets to the tournament, receiving 100 percent of the face value of all tickets sold. Good Any Day tickets, priced at $25, can be used any day during tournament week from Wednesday through Sunday. A Weekly Booklet is available for $100.

Tickets for Charity is administered by the Upstate New York Empowerment Fund, the philanthropic arm of the Oneida Indian Nation and The Turning Stone Resort Championship. Its Honorary Host Committee, comprised of community leaders from across the region, plays a significant role in the success of the Empowerment Fund by creating awareness and generating widespread support.

Ticket-buyers can support their favorite causes by purchasing directly from the charities or they can log onto The Turning Stone Resort Championship web site at www.turningstonechampionship.com for a list of participating organizations, allowing them to designate a charity when purchasing tickets online.
