As a benefit of sponsorships $6,000+, you or your company may enter into a raffle to win our Jet Away trip. This is a once-in-a-lifetime golfer’s dream day trip to a luxurious golf course, all-inclusive meals, drinks, golf, and travel on a private jet. See what previous years’ winners had to say about their experience:
“The experience was honestly fantastic, my colleagues and I are still talking about it. Between meeting Leigh Middleton and talking about the Philadelphia Phillies, especially the fact that the Phillies clinched their 2022 playoff berth that specific week in Houston. She was extremely friendly and approachable, as we shared a ride to Nantucket before she needed to go to Houston. The private course was gorgeous, the golf conditions a little more challenging with the weather but that didn’t deter us from enjoying the experience to the fullest. The course, the location, the private jet, and the post dinner were outstanding. Would highly recommend the “jet away” for future potential winners.”
“All I can say is this is one incredible experience. From the time you climb onto the Private Jet till the time you climb off that evening, you are just in awe. To fly by Jet, to a Private Course you would probably never play, is fantastic. Food is incredible and the camaraderie is great. This is one experience I will always take a chance on. It is truly unique and I would encourage everyone to take a chance.” – Kyle Cloman, CEO, Waste Gas Steel Fabrication and Tournament Committee Member
“I had an amazing time on the Jet Away trip and it exceeded my expectations. I have never been on a private jet before and the experience went beyond my wildest dreams. The ease of parking my car then being on the plane and in the air within 20 minutes was incredible. Showing up in Pinehurst, I felt like a VIP and I instantly felt like I was on a vacation even though a few hours before, I was at my house. The golf was tremendous and exactly as challenging as I anticipated. I will forever remember that day and I tell the story to anyone who is willing to listen. Thank you for the generosity in hosting the experience!”
“The Jet Away experience was truly exceptional and would qualify as a “Bucket List” type of day! To travel 400+ miles on your own aircraft, play golf on a nationally recognized course and to be treated like Kings and Queens made for a most memorable experience that I will never forget.”
