The Tampa Bay Rays hold an annual charity golf outing to benefit our Rays Foundation charity. The event was held in Sarasota/Bradenton at the amazing Ritz-Carlton Members Golf Club.It's our largest fundraiser of the year for the Foundation as well as one of the best chances for our partners to be treated like VIPs and actually get to hang out with our players.
As an intern in Corporate Partnerships, I knew full-well I would be working it. For a half-second I thought I might get asked to play. But that would have just been bad. Anyway I was assigned out Speed Golf hole incidentally with my supervisor Sean. It was a great time and we made sure all our partners and guests were greeted with a smiling face, Rays swag, and lots of ice cold drinks. It was important that I worked this because it helped to see another "all hands on deck" event. Our whole department put in at least 11-12 hours. Although I can think of worse places to be than a golf course in March in southwest Florida.
