Announcing Golf for Nature and Soccer for Nature III!
Hello everyone,
I wanted to write a bit to let you all know about the two very exciting Sports for Nature events that we are having in July and August of this year - Golf for Nature and Soccer for Nature III.
We are especially excited about Golf for Nature since this is the first event we will be producing under the Sports for Nature initiative with this sport. We have very good sponsors and the event will be held at Reston National Golf Course, which is one of the best courses in the Northern Virginia area, so it should be a good time. Among some of the benefits that players will enjoy while playing are free beer and cigar sampling from our sponsors. Also, the Alexander Tennis Academy at Tuckahoe Club in McLean has donated a coupon to every player for a free one-hour tennis lesson. Why not combine golf and tennis, they are two great sports!
Soccer for Nature III should be very exciting as well, we are holding this event in Reston and it is part of the Asian Festival, which drew over 60,000 people last year. Needless to say, we are thrilled to be part of the festival again this year and hope that this event brings hundreds of soccer players together competing for a good cause - the environment!
Please visit our website for updates on all upcoming events. The Sports for Nature team is very enthusiastic about all the upcoming events this year and will continue to come up with new sports and venues to host our events!
We are based in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area and it has been raining quite a bit this week (a lot more than usual!), so I will wrap-up this blog and head out of the office ASAP to enjoy the nice weather and the weekend. We hope you will do the same wherever you are located at in the world!
Cheers!
Sports + Environment = Healthier people in a healthier world
