ABOUT ELLIEFEST:
We are excited to announce the 4th annual EllieFest golf tournament and family fun day! Each year, The Sitzmann Family and DKTB host this event to honor the incredible life of their baby girl who tragically passed away from a viral infection when she was 12 days old in July 2019.

Since Ellie's passing, Eric & Holly Sitzmann, along with friends, family and community members have banded together to establish a nonprofit organization in memory of their daughter. Don't Kiss the Babies (DKTB) is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit organization whose mission is to advocate, educate and support parents and families of newborns and young children in keeping them healthy and safe.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated directly to DKTB to help in creating and distributing "New Parent Awareness kits" in hospitals and clinics. When a family has a new baby, they will be given educational literature and other items to help raise awareness of the dangers of viral illnesses in newborn babies during the first few weeks of life. DKTB hopes to empower new parents to make informed decisions for their baby and provide support during unprecedented times.

REGISTRATION:
This year's EllieFest golf tournament will be held at Fox Ridge Golf Course in Dike, Iowa. The format will be a 4-person best shot and will include pin prizes. The cost of registration is $400 per 4-person team ($100/person). Each individual golf participant will receive:
- a meal
- EllieFest 2022 shirt
- golfer goody bag

Not a golfer? No problem! We're offering free spectator tickets as well if you just want to come and check out the silent auction, grab some new DKTB apparel from our merchandise table, partake in the 50/50 raffle, enjoy the live music or just relax and support a good cause. Kids are welcome and encouraged to come! We'll be offering a variety of kids activities, including some outdoor water fun! The "purchase" of a spectator ticket also includes a meal. We simply ask that you make a $5 donation to DKTB to help cover the cost of your meal- this can be done at the event.

Registration will CLOSE on Sunday, July 2nd, 2022 at 11:59 PM.

A more detailed outline of the day's events will be shared as we get closer to the event. Please get registered up to join us for a great day and spread the word to anyone you know who loves to golf or just support a good cause. Thank you!
