Volunteer Recognition:


Again in 2008, the John Deere Classic Tournament will host an "all week" party for the very best volunteers on the PGA TOUR. Located on the hill just above the #18 Tee, there will be a 80' x 30' air conditioned Volunteer Tent available for all volunteers. Each volunteer will receive a coupon for a FREE lunch (in the Volunteer Tent only) for each day worked. Prizes will be posted daily with a Grand Prize for one lucky volunteer awarded on Sunday.

The CROCS company has a special offer for all John Deere Classic Volunteers.  They are offering free shipping and a 15% discount on PGA TOUR shoes.  Go to: www.crocs.com.  Use the promotion code: 623pgatv15.  Orders will be accepted from June 16th thru July 18th, 2008.  The John Deere Classic will receive 10% of all these sales for our charities plus a potential bonus if we're in the top 3 volunteer purchasers this year.










Volunteer Tent Details:

Volunteer Tent Hours:
Monday - Friday - - - -7:00am to 7:00pm
Saturday - Sunday - - -7:00am to 5:00pm

Each day a volunteer works, their team Captain will pass out a food coupon, good for one free lunch in the Volunteer Tent or it can be redeemed as a $3.75 voucher towards food purchased at any concession stand out on the course. There will be "take out" containers in the Volunteer Tent. The Volunteer Tent will be hosted by the Young Professional Network (YPN) of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce.

200 volunteers will be awarded a free round of golf at the TPC Deere Run (40 per day - Wednesday thru Sunday). These free rounds must be used during the 2008 season, be scheduled with the TPC seven(7) days in advance and ARE transferable. This replaces the old Volunteer Golf Outing.
