CROWD FUNDING : H ELPING PLAYERS ACHIEVE

Not every golfer who wants to make it as a professional has access to endorsements or other funding. For many, it is friends, family and savings that gives them to ability to shoot for birdies. However, a new methodis now avail - able to anyone looking to provide financial support for aspiring golfers. It’s called CrowdFunding and it is begin - ning to take hold! Founded by Van Pierce and Justin Bryant (Former Metropolitan Amateur Champion), check out their website to see if you want to become part of a golfer’s future.

ProUknow.com: A Crowdfunding Platform Endorsed by US Open Champion,

Giving professional golfers a place to raise the necessary funding for their careers

St. Louis, Mo October 31 st , 2014

Co-Founders Van Pierce and Justin Bryant have launched a new crowdfunding web platform giving professional golfers a new way to connect with a larger network of sponsors. Previously, golf professionals looked to a small number of sponsors for a large amount of money in return for equity in the professional’s career. Now, ProUknow allows players to raise money and still maintain their equity by using current crowdfunding capabilities that allow individual sponsors to give smaller amounts of money, which in turn helps to expand the player’s networks and sponsorship pool. Pierce says, “One of the hardest things to do is ask people for money, so ProUknow’s platform allows a player to share their campaign via social media, email, and text message. It also offers a less formal way for players to ask in person because they can direct potential sponsors to their ProUknow campaign page. Overall, we are just trying to make the funding process less painful for the players while simultaneously connecting them to the people who want to support them the most but never knew how.”

ProUknow allows players to offer rewards through their campaigns–t-shirts, hats, polos, and Bluetooth speakers, to name a few–for smaller contributions. For larger contributions, they offer more unique rewards, such as sports tickets, ap - pearances at corporate outings, sponsorships on their apparel and golf bags, or even the opportunity to spend a day on the course with a celebrity or PGA/LPGA tour professional. ProUknow encourages the players to use whatever personal re - sources they have in order to make their campaigns successful.

Upon its launch, ProUknow has two players from the ’s reality show, the Big Break (Charlie Harri - son and Christian Heavens), and two players from the LPGA and Symetra Tours (Natalie Sheary and Michelle Shin). Ad - ditionally, the company has players playing on a variety of tours all over the world.

Several players have used their connections effectively in hopes of receiving large contributions for a few unique experiences. Natalie Sheary is offering an opportunity to play with Women’s British Open Champion and Golf Channel an - alyst, Karren Stupples, in Orlando, Florida. Future ProUknow campaigns will also offer similar unique experiences for their sponsors.
