2023 Stirling Invitational
DATE: Monday, October 9th -Shotgun begins at Noon
LOCATION: University Club in Baton Rouge
TIME: Registration begins at 10am
The Annual Stirling Invitational Golf Tournament will be held on October 9th at University Club in Baton Rouge with a shotgun start at noon. Lunch and dinner will be served in the newly renovated clubhouse at University Club, and everyone will be treated to golf, great food, and beverages. Registration will begin at 10 am. Through the years, Stirling has contributed over $1.4M to various charitable organizations that strengthen our local communities. Ochsner Clinic Foundation is their primary beneficiary for the golf tournament. Ochsner Health is a system that delivers health to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi, and the Gulf South with a mission to Serve, Heal, Lead, Educate, and Innovate.
Every year Stirling Properties selects several nonprofits to become the recipients of the charitable dollars that they raise throughout the year. Team members can nominate whatever nonprofit moves them and a company-wide vote determines where the raised funds will end up. This year those charitable funds (a total of $15,000 to each) will go to Special Olympics, La., Ronald McDonald House, Mobile, Camp N.O.R.A. and Safe Harbor.
They kickoff their annual campaign by fundraising through corporate supporters and other local businesses. Also, they have mini fundraisers internally throughout the year such as dressing down for a $5 donation and employee payroll deduction options.
It all culminates in a company-wide festival of games and entertainment which is enjoyed by the entire company. In their seventh year, Stirling has changed it from an Olympics-style event to more of a music festival with games and prizes held this year at Digs Volleyball Complex. The Hawaiian-themed day had delicious food, drinks, music by DJ El Camino (aka Michael Hecht of GNO, Inc.) entertainment, act, games, raffles, prizes and competitions such as beach volleyball, horseshoes and group activities. Wrapping up in a 4-team relay event representing each of the designated nonprofits.
Through their founding partners, the executive staff, every department and even partner vendors, Stirling uses their fund at the Northshore Community Foundation to strengthen communities where they work and empower employees to engage in philanthropy in their own backyards. We provide efficiency and philanthropic administration services to Stirling so they can focus on doing what they do best.
