Keperra Golf Club continues to find avenues to welcome new Sponsors

As Keperra Country Golf Club moves into the third year of its program to partner with local businesses, it has welcomed added support from northern suburbs real estate specialists Whitehead & Crump from Harcourts Solutions.

Drew Crump said he and partner Simon Whitehead and their team were looking forward to furthering their relationship with the Club over the next 12 months, joining fellow Major Sponsors LawnPride Australia, Height 4 Hire and Bank of Queensland (Aspley).

‘We’ve really enjoyed the activations we have done with the Club so far, getting to know members and meeting new people,’ he said. ‘We’ve been made to feel very welcome and we’re pleased to step up our involvement.’

‘What’s also been positive is the growth of the game we’ve seen in the past two years with the junior holiday clinics we sponsor. The numbers of kids taking part has doubled. Golf really is a sport for everyone, for all ages and genders and for people with different levels of disability, so it’s a great sporting community to be part of.’ It comes as no surprise Keperra Country Golf Club was awarded Junior Development Program in QLD for 2023.

Continuing as the Club’s Principal Sponsor is Tangalooma Island Resort which has seen great traction through the membership, while rounding out the complement of 2023-24 partners are a further eight Supporting Sponsors from the immediate community.

Club General Manger Gavin Lawrence said the drive to partner with and support local enterprises, begun in 2021, had been so successful that a new opportunity was created to sponsor Keperra in the Brisbane District Golf Association inter-club Pennants competition. This was taken up by Phil Wuersching, owner of Jim’s Test & Tag at Enoggera.

A keen golfer himself, Phil said local club sponsorship was a particularly good opportunity for small business. ‘We are a franchise, a small northside family business, so being involved is a way for us to connect with people in our local community, let them know about us, and also to connect us with likeminded businesses,’ he said.

Mr Lawrence thanked all sponsors and partners for their commitment to the Club, particularly in an environment of businesses experiencing rising costs.

‘Our goal with our program when we began was to provide opportunities to businesses for mutual benefit and support,’ he said. ‘That continues to be the main driver and we’re looking forward to working with all our sponsors on initiatives and activations in the year ahead.’
