Frequently Asked Questions

---

Chip in for Charity is designed to be a non-competitive golf event where participants chip golf balls towards sponsored targets located at the driving range. With each target being sponsored through a financial contribution by a local business, participants and local businesses collectively “CHIP IN”  to raise money for our local non-profit beneficiary. 

While participants chip towards the sponsored targets, we announce prizes for participants to win while providing food, drinks and sponsorship “swag” to our guests. Once the participant hits each target, they mark it off on their score card and have the option to redeem a completed scorecard for 3 prize tickets. In addition to sponsorships and ticket sales, we sell additional buckets of balls, prize tickets and drink cards to generate more donations and proceeds for our non-profit beneficiary. 

Chip In For Charity is taking place on June 17th, 2023 at Olivas Links Driving Range from 1-4pm. To get directions, click here.

To become a sponsor, please visit our sponsorship page linked here. All target sponsors will be included in all event marketing and promotion. Target sponsors each receive a dedicated target with their company logo attached. 

Chip In For Charity was developed by Brandon Wasilewski, a local real estate professional helping families, investors and individuals throughout Ventura County. As a Ventura County resident, and young professional his goal when developing the concept was to create a family friendly event that focused on delivering:

1. Financial support and general awareness to local non-profits.

2. Brand awareness and exposure to Ventura County Businesses

3. A golf related networking event for the community
