7th Annual ASU NALSA Golf Tournament

Posted on by

Join us or Sponsor ASU NALSA,

I am writing on behalf of the Arizona State University Native American Law Student Association  (NALSA), who will be hosting their 7th Annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser on Saturday,  November 3, 2012.  We are proud to announce the event will take place at Gila River Indian  Community’s Whirlwind Golf Club, at the Wild Horse Pass Casino and Resort in Chandler, Arizona.  We respectfully request your support for this event.

NALSA’s activities and funds benefit many tribes, peoples and entities throughout Arizona and  the United States as our students have come from all across the country.  As an organization,  NALSA assists students in developing strong legal skills in the practice of Indian law, thus facilitating better advocacy on behalf of Indian tribes and Native people.  Annually, ASU NALSA  uses the fund from the tournament to bring together students, judges, lawyers, and other professionals from across the country to compete, network, and share ideas about the dynamic  field of Indian Law.  This year we will be using funds to establish a book scholarship for future law students.  Moreover, proceeds from our tournament fund our membership’s attendance of  the Federal Indian Law Conference (“Fed Bar”) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, bring speakers to campus, and go towards various outreach projects with local youth, both Native and non-Native.

There are five ways you can support our efforts:

1) Making a monetary contribution;
2) Sponsoring a golf hole. Companies can sponsor a hole for a donation of $150. We will  place the company logo on a uniform banner at one of the 18 holes;
3) Sponsoring the golf tournament. Your company or business will be named as one of  the golf tournament sponsors on all documents at the tournament for a donation of $500;
4) Making donations for prizes. These may be in the form of money, merchandise, or gift certificates for use at a business, hotels, golf courses, restaurants etc.; and
5) Playing in the tournament. Individual players as well as groups of any size are welcome; we will try our best to keep your group together if it is not already in a team of four.

NALSA is non-profit organization incorporated in Arizona, and is currently pursuing 501(c)(3) status.  Should you decide to provide sponsorship, please send your contribution to:
