Each year the Golden K Kiwanis Club of Decatur, IL. sponsors the
Maury Doane Memorial Golf Outing and Fund Raiser to help support worthy organizations in our community. This golf outing and fund raiser has allowed our organization to generate over $61,000 to donate to charity in the last six years. All of this money is put right back into our community in the form of donations to local organizations. Success is in the sponsorships. More than 100 supporters pay $25, $50, $100, $250 and more to be associated with this event. Members of our club are
asked to contact businesses where they are customers or people they know who might be willing to sponsor a $100 sign. Signs are professionally made for these contributors and placed on the tees. The sponsor’s names are also printed in the golf program. We have the following classifications in the program: contributions of $250+, Hole-in-One Club; $101/249, Double Eagle Club; $100, Eagle Club; $26/99, Birdie Club; $25 or less, Par Club. The golf participants are put into foursomes, flighted, with winners in each flight. We do not use handicaps.  We also include Special Prizes, i.e. closest to the pin contests and closest to the line on two holes.

The evening of the golf outing a dinner is held to recognize the winners and to award door prizes. Participants are encouraged to invite their spouse or a friend to the dinner. We keep our entry fees fairly reasonable with all of the entry money being paid out for green fees, carts and prizes. None of the entry fee money goes for other expenses or profit.

During our club meetings, where we average about 100+ members in attendance, we give recognition to our sponsors and encourage our members to support our sponsors which number over 100.
