The Tampa Bay Tech Foundation is thrilled to host our inaugural Helicopter Golf Ball Drop fundraiser to support the Tampa Bay Tech Apprentice Network. This initiative, launched in November, is dedicated to bridging the workforce gap between local employers and skilled talent in our community.  This is an opportunity for you to help us raise funds for the network without being on the course!

📅 Date: February 20, 2025

📍 Location: Ardea Country Club, during the Annual Tampa Bay Tech Golf Classic

Before the tournament’s shotgun start, a helicopter will release 400 golf balls onto a designated green. The balls closest to the hole will win cash prizes:

• 🏆 1st Place: $2,000
• 🥈 2nd Place: $1,000
• 🥉 3rd Place: $500

If a ball lands in the hole, it will automatically win the first-place prize!

 How to Participate

• Cost: $40 per golf ball
• Purchase Deadline: February 17, 2025
• Link to donation/purchase golf ball: TBT Helicopter Golf Ball Fundraiser
• There is no limit on the amount of golf balls purchased per order! Participants will be emailed their number assigned to their golf ball or multiple golf balls of purchase after transaction. On February 20 a helicopter will fly over the designated green at the course and the three golf balls measured closest to the hole will win the top three cash prizes.  
• Winners will be emailed, you do not need to be present to win.

DISCLAIMER: If fewer than 400 balls are sold, prizes will be adjusted based on total sales. If more than one ball makes it into the hole, the 1st place prize will be spilt.

Don’t miss your chance to support a great cause and win big!
