Since 2017, the Ranchette Putters have been fortunate to have a group of dedicated sponsors who help to underwrite our many social events, including tournaments with other clubs and “Friends and Family” tournaments. Our first sponsors were the well-known real estate team and SaddleBrooke Ranch (SBR) residents Leslie and Les Brown of the Buy Sell Rent Team, right here in Oracle. They were the inaugural sponsors at the Gold level, to boot! Our second Gold sponsor, Xpert Auto in Catalina, came onboard in 2018, followed by Kimberly Tucker, MD, an orthopedic surgeon, in 2023.
Just this year, our fabulous sponsorship committee, led by Vickie Thompson, has brought in four more Gold sponsors: Blease Financial Services, Coyote Golf Cars, K & A Landscaping and Dirtworks Inc., and Village Medical.
The Gold Sponsors donate $500 to our group every year.
We also appreciate our great Silver Sponsors, who donate $250 per year: Catalina Family Dental (2022), Frame 56 (2022), Absolutely Art Gallery & Gifts (2023), Bubb’s Grub (2023), Hombres Barbershop (2023), State Farm Agent Aaron Franco (2023), Touchstone Crystals (SBR resident Marie Mantoura)(2023), Healthy Skin Dermatology (2024), Tortoise & Hair Design Studio (2024), Michael Holper—Musician (SBR resident) (2024), SBR residents Jacque and Todd Lauer (2024), and Oro Valley Acupuncture (2024).
We added a new level of sponsorship this year, the Bronze level, at $250 per year: Fork and Fire Wings (2024).
We’re so appreciative of all these generous sponsors, and we hope everyone in the Ranch, not just the Putters, will frequent these businesses. Let them know you appreciate their support of SBR activities!
