A
fter hosting four charity
golf tournaments, Joelle
Flynn thought she knew
how to run a successful event.
But she needed a refresher —
and a friend. Flynn had just re-
located to Dana Point and was
named Executive Director of the
newly formed Orange County
chapter of Girls on the Run, an
international character-enrich-
ment non-profit for girls 8 to 13
that integrates running.
First stop: Flynn's home
course, Monarch Beach Golf
Links. Staff was friendly, she
thought. Course was beautiful.
Perfect place for a charity event.
So she signed up for Monarch
Beach's Charity All-Stars Semi-
nar for that refresher. And what
she got was so much more.
"When I left the seminar, I felt
so empowered to raise more
money in more unique ways
than I had thought of," says
Flynn, who attended the seminar
last October. "I feel more capable
of holding a golf tournament, es-
pecially with Junior (Sperazza,
Monarch Beach's Director Sales
and Marketing) and his staff be-
hind us along the way."
Flynn says Sperazza "thinks
outside the box" and offers valu-
able advice and suggestions dur-
ing the seminar, such as starting
a silent auction online prior to
the event, or a helicopter ball
drop to increase proceeds.
A tournament-planning
workbook is included in the
seminar, too.
It's been three years getting
the Girls on the Run Orange
County chapter established.
Flynn is working, voluntarily, to
set up the inaugural fund-raiser
in the next year. And with the
help of her new friends at
Monarch Beach, she knows the
tournament will be a success.
