Fundraising
CK'Sters puts the "fun" in fundraising!
CK'Sters can help you raise money for your organization. Below are some options!
1.
Your organization can pre-purchase mini-golf passes at a 30% discount, then resell them at full price or more.
Once the minimum of 25 passes has been purchased, you may purchase any quantity of additional mini-golf passes as a reorder to complete your fundraiser.
2.
Host a miniature golf tournament. This will require a little more work on your part, but some groups have raised over $5000 while having lots of fun! Click here to learn more.
CK'Sters is just the venue but we are willing to help however we can and offer suggestions and donate a few prizes also.

The funds get raised in 3 ways:
- From player registrations. CK'Sters gets $7 per player (regular golf price is $11), and an optional $6.50 if you would like us to provide 2 sliced of pizza, drink, and ice cream cone for each guest for a banquet after the tournament. You get the rest; some charge up to $25 or more per person depending what else is included; t-shirts? snacks? coffee & donuts? (Some groups get a sponsor for these things.)
- From raffle tickets sold; if you round up lots of prizes from various businesses ahead of time, many will purchase raffle tickets that day and it's also lots of fun to see people win things after the golf is over...
- From selling hole sponsorships, just like real golf tournaments. Businesses can sponsor a hole; you can make signs to put at each sponsored hole (easiest way is to print out an 8.5"X11" sheet, put it in a clear sleeve, and tape to flagstick, which are located at each tee box on the course)
Some Fun Tips for Your Event!
A fun idea is to have "instant win hole-in-one prizes" at every hole; many people think they can't win a tournament, but anyone can get a hole in one if they're lucky, so it's fun to have 18 tries to win something. Again, the key is rounding up stuff ahead of time; whatever doesn't get won can go into the raffle afterwards.
