23rd Annual SVBTA Golf Classic
Cinnabar Hills Golf Club 23600 McKean Road
San Jose, CA 95141
September 19, 2017
Thank you for joining us for the 23rd Annual Silicon Valley Business Travel Association Golf Classic. This golf tournament and it's successful history is a direct result of our amazing sponsors and the support of our members. With that, we would like to extend a collective thank you to our Co-Title sponsors BCD Travel and Air China. With your support and partnership, the legacy of this tournament lives on! We would also like to thank two additional major sponsors. InterContinental Hotels Group for dinner and American Express Global Business Travel for lunch. The long term support of all our Title and Major sponsors is really impressive! 23 years strong with many of you having been there from the start. As a committee, our goal was to deliver a fun event with lots of face-to-face networking and a balance of business mixed in to support SVBTA. We hope you enjoy this opportunity to connect with old friends and meet new colleagues and guests of this wonderful chapter. Now let's play some golf! Start your day off right with a mimosa at the putting contest sponsored by Mosaic Global Transportation. Say cheers when you see the photographer during play so you can collect your group photo after the round. Make those final tweaks to your swing on the Driving Range sponsored by La Quinta Inn & Suites San Jose Airport. Of course our hole sponsors are not to be missed so please say hello and see what fun opportunity awaits as you make your rounds. BMW of Steven's Creek is back with the Hole-in-One challenge and look out for Dixon Golf this year with a couple of fun contests to support The First Tee of Silicon Valley. After your round, please head to the reception hosted by The Plaza Suites. This would be an ideal time to purchase raffle tickets for The Big Prize AND a bonus drawing for two roundtrip tickets from San Jose to Shanghai hosted by Air China! Before you sit down for dinner, be sure to stop by our silent auction table if you have not already registered. The entire silent auction will be online this year so please visit https://www.biddingforgood.com/svbta2017 from any device and click register. Our team is available to assist and check the leaderboard on screen for updates on hot items. In addition to the silent auction we will be raising money to fund a scholarship for The First Tee of Silicon Valley. Tax deduction forms will be available and SVBTA will start things off with a $1,500 donation! Please help us reach our goal of $3,000. Have a great day!
