ANSYS TICKETS Fore CHARITY Program

 

Is there any cost associated with the ANSYS TICKETS Fore CHARITY program?

Absolutely not! The ANSYS TICKETS Fore CHARITY was developed to help support the many charitable organizations in the local area as a free service. Any and all costs associated with the ANSYS TICKETS Fore CHARITY program (such as ticket mailing costs, ticket printing costs etc.) will be absorbed by the Mylan Classic and ANSYS.

How much money can my organization raise through this program?

The great thing about the ANSYS TICKETS Fore CHARITY program is that the earning potential is unlimited! Your organization will receive a check at the end of each month for 100% of every ticket sold.

How much do the tickets cost?

     - The Grounds Pass permits access to the golf course as well as bleacher seating.

Will the Mylan Classic provide my organization with tournament tickets to sell?

No. The Mylan Classic will provide each charity with a PDF version of the order form tailored specifically for that organization. The organization will then print as many copies of the order form as they would like and distribute them to the public.

Will my organization have to collect the money from the ticket orders?

No. Once the organization has handed the potential ticket buyer an order form they have essentially completed their task. We do however suggest that the charities follow-up with each of the potential ticket buyers to ensure that they have indeed placed the order. Once the potential ticket buyer has the order form in hand it is then up to them to send the order form to the Mylan Classic via fax or mail. The potential ticket buyer may also choose to purchase their tickets online or by calling the tournament office at (724)746-3535.

How will the Mylan Classic know that the ticket order should be credited to my organization?

When the Mylan Classic receives the ticket order (either by fax, mail, phone, or online) we will process the payment, mail the tickets, and credit your organization. As mentioned earlier, each paper order form has your organization's name at the top to ensure that your organization receives credit for that particular purchase. Also, if the ticket(s) are purchased online, the ticket buyer is asked to select the charity of their choice from a drop-down menu before payment is processed.

Who can we sell the tickets to?

There are a number of different ways to sell tournament tickets and promote the TICKETS Fore CHARITY program.

      • Corporate Sales
      • Private Donors
      • E-mail Blasts
      • Web Site Link
      • Newsletters
      • Displays
        • Hotel Lobbies
        • Restaurant Lobbies
        • Retail Stores
      • Press Releases
      • Public Service Announcements
      • Sporting Events
      • Fairs
      • Family, Friends, and Co-Workers
      • Door-to-Door

So how will my organization get paid for selling the tournament tickets?

Example: Charity XYZ distributes 400 ticket order forms in the month of February, 100 of those order forms are completed and returned to the tournament office.  For simplicity sake, lets say each of the completed 100 order forms is for (1) Weekly Grounds Pass at $25/ticket.  Charity XYZ would then be credited with $2,500 in ticket sales for that month.  At the end of February (and the end of every month of the sales period [February - Sept, 2010], the Mylan Classic will write a check for the full amount raised (in this case the February check would total $2,500) back to Charity XYZ.  The Mylan Classic will also provide Charity XYZ with their up-to-date sales figures to let them know where they currently stand.

What is the $35,000 BONUS POOL?

In addition to this wonderful opportunity, a $35,000 Bonus Pool, provided by ANSYS will be distributed to participating non-profit organizations based on their total ticket sales at the conclusion of the event.

Example:  Let’s assume that the ANSYS TICKETS Fore CHARITY program generates total sales of $100,000 by the end of September.  If Charity XYZ generates a total of $10,000, then they have contributed 10% of the overall total.  So Charity XYZ would then be entitled to 10% of the $35,000 Bonus Pool ($3,500).  In this scenario, Charity XYZ would receive a total donation from the Mylan Classic of $13,500.

BONUS POOL check distribution will take place just weeks after the tournament when all sales figures have been finalized.
