Who Is AFI And What We Do?
AFI is all about community service and supporting our youth. One of the ways Ambrose Foundation, Inc serves community is through raising funds that assist local charities that focus on the needs of children. The charity must apply for funding during the open application process. An organization may also be nominated by an AFI board member. Once selected, AFI will, interview the founders and other key members of the non-profit organization. When applicable, AFI will visit the organization to observe their program in action.
Relationship Building
AFI not only raises funds to donate to the organization, but also builds relationships which enables AFI to introduce others in the community to the selected charity and its’ cause; creating a family of friends. Planning the tournament takes approximately 4 months. AFI Board and committee members usually give one to two hours a week of their time. AFI manages all the necessary tasks associated with the event. Some of the tasks required to organize and successfully execute the project includes securing the golf course, aggressively seeking sponsors, advertising, developing marketing materials, recruiting tournament volunteers, player registration, selecting a caterer, securing prizes for giveaways, set up and clean up.
