Marcus Trufant • Believe in Me
Sponsor the Marcus Trufant Believe in Me golf tournament and help fund scholarships for students.
Bring clients, employees, or community partners into a high-energy golf day while helping Believe in Me support students like Bryan Chel Lara, a junior at Gonzaga University.
Host clients, show up across the course, and help support scholarships for students like Bryan. We’ll help you choose a sponsor level that fits your company goals.
Before anything is final, we’ll put the level, golfer spots, logo placement, payment method, and receipt details in writing.
Scholarship impact
Meet Bryan Chel Lara.
Bryan is a junior at Gonzaga University and one of six Believe in Me scholarship recipients from 2025. His story gives sponsors a clear picture of what this tournament helps make possible.
Scholarship support helps students keep going, even when tuition, FAFSA changes, and family responsibilities make the path harder.
Scholarship spotlight

In his scholarship update, Bryan wrote:
“I’m balancing 18 credits, leadership roles, nonprofit work, and consulting projects because I’m focused on building a future for my family and community. This scholarship would invest in someone striving to uplift others and succeed against the odds.”

Sponsor questions
Quick answers for sponsors.
A few simple answers before you choose a sponsor spot.
What levels are open?
Ace, Albatross, Eagle, Birdie, Par, Bogey, Sign Only, and Foursome options are available while inventory lasts. Some placements are exclusive.
Do I get golfer spots with a sponsorship?
Many packages do. Ace, Albatross, and Eagle include two foursomes. Birdie, Par, Bogey, and Foursome include one foursome. Sign Only is logo placement without golfers.
How will my company show up?
Depending on your level, your company may show up on signs, carts, banners, lunch packaging, the website, social posts, event materials, or a Marcus sponsor video. It stays thank-you focused, not a product endorsement.
Is the full sponsorship amount tax-deductible?
Not always. If your package includes golf, meals, drinks, gifts, or other benefits, the tax-deductible amount may be lower than the full sponsorship amount. Believe in Me will provide receipt details; please consult your tax advisor.
When do you need our logo?
Please send your logo and sponsor materials by June 30, 2026. Late assets can limit signs, printed materials, video, or other placements.
How can we pay?
Invoice, check, ACH, or online payment can all work. Tell us what your finance team needs.
What happens after we reserve a sponsor spot?
We follow up to confirm your level, golfer spots, invoice or payment details, receipt language, logo needs, and next steps before anything is final.
Can we offer products or services instead?
Yes. Player gifts, auction items, printing, signage, hospitality, and experiences may be a fit. Regulated items, including alcohol, need review before acceptance.
Who should we talk to?
Email [email protected] or call 206-414-8043. Tell us your goal and budget. We’ll point you to the right level.
