Showcase Your Brand at the African American Golf Expo & Forum and Jim Beatty Invitational Scramble!
Small business owners, this is your chance to put your brand directly into the hands of golf’s most influential leaders. The African American Golf Expo & Forum, alongside the prestigious Jim Beatty Invitational Scramble, is now soliciting bids for items to be featured in the exclusive golfers’ goody bag. This is not just a giveaway—it’s a golden opportunity to showcase your product to golf’s top decision-makers, the very people who can place orders, write checks, and expand your reach in ways you’ve only imagined.
Jim Beatty, founder of the African American Golf EXPO & Forum, is seeking high-quality products from small businesses to be included in this highly visible program. Items such as caps, shirts, socks, balls, health & wellness, personal care products, and a variety of golf-related accessories are welcome. If you make it, and it fits the lifestyle of the game, it could find its way into the hands of industry insiders and influential players at this marquee event.
What makes this opportunity even more special is the spotlight your product will receive. If selected, your brand will not only be placed in the goody bags for some of golf’s elite, but it will also be promoted on the official African American Golf Expo website, aagolfexpo.com. You’ll be featured with your own dedicated page and a news release designed to elevate your brand to an even wider audience.
