CLAIM A BENCH - LEAVE A LEGACY - Fundraising Initiative
What is this?
. You can claim a KTC court bench!
This means that your name will be featured on a KTC court bench and becomes part of our long-standing history (88 years and counting!)
How does it work?
. Participate in one of two ways:
Individual Participation: Choose from 4 options and let KTC find other interested members to partner with you to claim a bench:
$100: Bronze Level - Your name will appear with 9 other participants
$200: Silver Level - Your name will appear with 4 other participants
$500: Gold Level - Your name will appear with 1 other participant
$1000: Platinum Title Level: You will be the only name on the plaque.
Group Participation: Form a group and name your own bench. A plaque will be placed on your bench, engraved with the name chosen by the group. The fee is $1,000/bench.
Where do the funds go?
. Your participation in this initiative will directly fund club improvements such as: gazebo purchase, sprucing up the washrooms, and replacing bar equipment.
We have invested in the club over the past several years.
Improvements such as court resurfacing, new nets/squeegees/court curtains, new patio furniture, and new clubhouse furniture to name a few, and would like to accelerate a couple projects that are pending said President Wes Pomeransky.
