The 2025 BMW Charity Pro-Am Golf Tournament (BMWCPA) is June 2 - June 8. You CAN volunteer, but it's a bit different this year. At our own request, FoRR will not play an official role.
Leading the Green Team at the BMWCPA was a huge undertaking that necessitated several months of planning and nine (10-14 hour) days during the tournament. It was simply too much to ask of our volunteer Board members. After the 2024 event, we advised the BMWCPA planning committee to hire a consultant whose specific expertise was in managing the sustainability aspects of professional sports events. This was a momentous decision since this event generated about 20% of FoRR's annual operating revenue. But the long-term well-being of our amazing Board members was worth making a short-term financial sacrifice.
The tournament is more committed than ever to sustainability and with the expertise of a professional consultant, they will provide detailed, certified reporting of the sustainability results. A few FoRR Board members will be Green Team Ambassadors - a role that's not officially a FoRR commitment. Ambassadors will explain the BMWCPA's sustainability efforts and help patrons make sure their trash gets into the correct receptacles. The professional consultant will have its own employees dragging out trash bags, hauling them from all the tournament locations, and getting them to the trash and recycling locations.
The BMWCPA still needs Green Team Ambassadors! Click on the red button below to sign up. Please note: The volunteer link mentions a $50 fee - you do not pay that fee. It will also ask you for a 2nd choice to volunteer. Pick anything as a 2nd choice -- it does not apply to us, but the system requires you to make a 2nd choice in order for you to move forward with your registration.
We hope to see you there!
