Golfthere.com Launches "Golf on the Gulf Coast" World-Wide Ad and Public Relations Campaign
Golfthere.com has launched a promotion to raise money for Gulf Coast cities affected by the recent oil spill. 10% of the profits of golf vacations on the Gulf Coast will go to the National Audubon Society Action Fund.
Birmingham, AL, June 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Minimum of 10% of profits to be directed to National Audubon Society Action Fund.
GolfThere.com, a subsidiary of Fairways Golf Vacations, announced that it would launch a comprehensive world-wide advertising and public relations campaign to bring awareness to the severely impacted Gulf Coast economy beginning today. The marketing campaign’s slogan is “Golf on the Gulf Coast is Good, Good and Great. Good for the golfer’s handicap, Good for the ‘birdies,’ and Great for the Gulf Coast Economy.” In an effort to encourage golf couples and group leaders to travel immediately and through this Fall to the devastated areas, Fairways announced that a minimum of 10% of profits from all golf vacations booked by August 31st, 2010 to the region, would be donated to the National Audubon Society’s Action Fund.
Fairways CEO Alan Hale said about the program: “The Gulf Coast is heavily dependent on tourism and the recent oil spill’s economic impact is potentially devastating. We want to reach out to our more than 525,000 households of golfers/golf group leaders and also to prospective golf customers and provide an opportunity to help the ‘birdies’ and the local economy. If they’ll take an immediate trip to the region or if they’ll book a trip soon for this late summer or early fall, Fairways Golf and GolfThere.com will donate to the fund that is spearheading wildlife rescue, while getting an excellent value for their money at some of the best golf courses in the world.” Hale also said, “With our world headquarters in a Gulf Coast state and with our founding on the Alabama Gulf Coast more than twenty years ago, Fairways Golf has the privilege and a duty to help our friends and employees in the area.”
