Creating a premium golf day with purpose — raising $40,000 for men's wellbeing.

In 2025 the inaugural IMD Charity Golf Day raised $20,600 for Human Nature Adventure Therapy. For 2026 we're aiming to double it — and cash sponsorship is what gets us there. Here's how to be part of it.

Why partner

Last year proved the concept. This year we're doubling it.

The 2026 model needs cash sponsorship, team revenue and smart on-course fundraising working together. Supplier support lifts the quality of the day — but cash sponsorship is what actually moves the fundraising result.

$25–30k
from cash sponsorships
$8–10k
from raffles, auction & on-course games
$5–8k
from team entries & direct giving
$40k
total target for Human Nature in 2026

Sponsorship is the single biggest lever on the day's result.

Get involved

There are three ways to partner.

Choose one pathway or combine them — pairing a hole sponsorship with an experience activation gives the strongest presence on the course.

Sponsor the day

Formal sponsorship

Tiered cash sponsorship with the strongest promotional visibility and a clear contribution to the $40,000 target.

$750 – $10,000
Compare tiers
Sponsor a hole

Branded hole presence

A visible spot on the course with clear signage. Team entry stays separate, so this protects the fundraising target while still putting your brand in the action.

From $750 · carts $50 each

Bring something to the day

Coffee, drinks carts, breakfast, player packs or raffle & auction prizes — practical, memorable additions that improve the day and tell your story.

Own an experience

Turn your sponsorship into something golfers will remember.

The strongest partnerships do more than place a logo on the course. They provide something useful, enjoyable or unexpected that improves the golfers' experience and creates a natural opportunity for your team to connect with them.

Available experiences may include:

Welcome or breakfast partnership
Coffee station or coffee cart
Refreshment carts featuring water, soft drinks and mid-strength beverages
Player packs
On-course tastings or product sampling
Longest drive, nearest-the-pin or other competition partnerships
Branded photo moment
Giveaways and golfer prizes
Major raffle or auction prizes
Hydration, wellbeing or responsible-service messaging

Experiences can be paired with a Major, Supporting or Hole Sponsorship, subject to availability, suitability and course requirements.

Discuss an activation

Experience & supplier partners

Have a product or service that would genuinely improve the day? We welcome proposals involving cash support, appropriate products or services, or a combination of both. Recognition will be agreed according to the genuine event value of the contribution and the visibility associated with the experience.

Cash sponsorship remains vital to achieving our $40,000 fundraising goal. In-kind contributions should reduce an event cost, improve the golfer experience or create a genuine fundraising opportunity.

Potential supplier partnerships include coffee, breakfast, beverages, player packs, transport, photography, prizes and on-course experiences.

More than a logo

The best value comes from storytelling, not logos alone.

We build your visibility across the whole campaign, not just on the day.

Before the day

Website partner listing, launch posts, email mentions, supplier spotlights and registration promotions.

On the day

Course signage, branded activations, MC acknowledgements, cart signage and player materials.

After the day

Thank-you posts, the fundraising result, a photo gallery and your part in the impact story.

Important information

The practical detail, up front.
