You donate to a foundation, you get a logo on their website. Zero relationships, zero stories to tell, zero photos from the handover.
Result: "Another company donated money"
Logo on a banner at a mass event. Your brand gets lost among 50 other sponsors.
Result: "Who even saw it?"
Our association consists of professionals from various industries — entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, lawyers. Together we play golf and support children and youth.
Result: Real relationships built on common values
Exclusive business clubs — high membership fees, but no shared passion that brings people together.
Result: "Cold relationships, business cards in the drawer"
The cost of the status quo:
Your competition is building relationships with decision-makers, while you're spending your budget on ineffective activities.
Every quarter without proper networking means lost contracts and business opportunities.
Visibility at tournaments + real social impact + business networking — for a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.
Match your level of involvement to your goals and budget.
Play at tournaments alongside stars, build relationships through a shared passion.
Communication materials, photos with stars, new contracts.
At GOFUS Polska Masters 2026, partner logos were displayed on the partner wall, on roll-ups in the Binowo Park clubhouse and during the Players Party with a charity auction for PLATZ DA!
During the tournament we donated 10,000 PLN to Akademia Błękitni Dobiegniew for training equipment for young players.
Let's talk about the 2027 seasonThis is what our partnership packages can look like. The final scope is agreed individually before the 2027 season. Every package is a shared investment in the development of children and youth in Poland.
Event organisation and sponsorship management is handled by Binowo Park Sp. z o.o. Packages are flexible — we can tailor the scope to your goals. Let's talk.
We understand that the decision to partner requires careful thought. Here are answers to the most common doubts.
Have another question?
Ask usAbsolutely not. Many of our partners and members started from scratch. Golf is just a pretext for meetings — relationships are what matter most. Tournaments are played by both experienced players and beginners. We provide support and a friendly atmosphere.
Amounts depend on the chosen package and scope of collaboration. We tailor packages to your goals and budget. Contact us and we'll present a concrete offer.
We understand this concern. That's why we offer: (1) transparent reporting — you know exactly where the funds go and what materials you receive, (2) flexible packages — you can start with a smaller commitment and increase it when you see results, (3) a meeting before the decision — get to know us in person before you decide.
Yes, that's one of the main benefits. As a partner you receive professional photos from events — including from the handover of funds to PLATZ DA! beneficiaries — for use in company materials, social media and internal communications.
Immediately: logo on the website, mention on social media. After the first tournament: photos, materials, reports from participants. Long-term: networking and business contacts that pay dividends for years. The best partnerships are built over several seasons.
Book a no-obligation call. You'll get to know us, tell us about your goals, and we'll propose a tailored package.
Season 2027: we will announce the tournament dates soon. We can talk about partnership right now.
Limited spots for partners. Contact us if you want to be visible at our 2027 tournaments.
Become part of an extraordinary community of professionals who combine a passion for golf with supporting children and youth in Poland.
