For more information, contact Chamber Executive Director Alison Burrafato at 951-244-6124.

Ball Drop

The Chamber invites residents to participate in it’s first annual Ball Drop for a chance to win up to $5,000. The Ball Drop will take place after the Chamber’s annual Golf Tournament on Saturday, May 20. Participants don’t have to enter the tournament to participate and winner need not be present to win.

Golf ball “numbers” can be purchased for $10 each at the Chamber, Pack, Wrap and Post in the Towne Center and at the Canyon Lake Country Club Pro Shop. The purchaser provides their contact information and receives one number per ball; not the actual golf ball.

Using a mechanical lift, the hopper filled with the numbered golf balls will be lifted and dropped all at once over a hole (cup) on the Practice Range. The purchaser of the numbered ball that lands in the bottom of the hole will receive half the money collected from the Ball Drop sales, up to $5,000.

A limited number of balls are available. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Canyon Lake Jr. Golf Program.
