You can easily help raise funds for the Strongsville Rotary Foundation by promoting tickets to the PGA Bridgestone Invitational, August 3-8, at the Firestone Country Club, in Akron.

Our foundation will keep $26.25 of every $35 day ticket sold using a special promotional code.

And the best part is you have to do hardly anything to make it happen. All the sales are done online, so all you have to do is get the word out through fliers, Facebook, Twitter and other vehicles of communication.

The Bridgestone Invitational is part of the World Golf Championship and features the best golfers in the world.

This is a world class golfing event and people are going to want to buy tickets anyhow - so they may as well buy them through us and support our work.

Working with Tickets Fore Charity, Dan Cricks has arranged this powerful fundraising opportunity. When tickets to Bridgestone are purchased through Tickets Fore Charity, 100 percent of the $35 price goes to charity: 75 percent to Strongsville Rotary Foundation and 25 percent to The First Tee, a program that teaches young people life skills through golf.

Here's how to buy tickets:

Go to the Tickets Fore Charity web page to order, and be sure to type in the special Strongsville Rotary Foundation promotional code - BISXWU - so that we get credit for the sale. The TicketMaster service charge for this site is heavily discounted.

Here's how you can help:

1. Post the Tickets Fore Charity link on your website, email it to people you know, post it on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc., and mention what a great offer this is. For an example, check out the Strongsville Rotary Facebook page.
