For 2011, the Sagebrush Classic will head in a new direction. It will expand it's outreach in the community to include ALL nonprofit organizations in Central Oregon vs. the RFP Application Process of years past. With a 6-month fundraising campaign, nonprofits now will raise funds in the community and beyond, while Sagebrush simultaneously raises funds for a 'match grant'.
On January 11, 2011, nonprofits in our area can register to be a part of the Sagebrush weekend, which will now consist of:
Sagebrush Golf Tournament (to benefit Deschutes Children's Foundation)
Sagebrush Private Dinners (proceeds go towards the match grant)
Sagebrush Community Challenge (proceeds go towards the match grant)
Sagebrush Feast (proceeds go towards the match grant)
On February 15, 2011, nonprofits and sponsors will come together to launch the 6-month fundraising campaign and will be given tools to raise funds in our community.
On the weekend of July 15-16, 2011, the Sagebrush events will commence and fundraising will continue until mid-August.
On August 30, 2010, all of the nonprofits that have partnered with Sagebrush will receive the money they raised in the community, as well as a portion of the match grant (to be split b/t the nonprofits).
For more information, please feel free to call me anytime! I love talking about this event, I love sharing the vision and hope for the community to raise smarter and more effectively, and I love that I have the chance to partner with Deschutes Brewery and Sagebrush on this amazing event!
