I am asking you to support to benefit two charity events in and for Ponca City. T:he goal is to
raise funds for chari,ty while raising the awareness and involvement of people in the community
to Make a Difference in Ponca City. Two events are being planned: Make a Difference
Concert at the Poncan Theatre, October 3rd 2013 and Make a Difference Golf Tournament at
Lew Wentz Golf Course October 5 th , 2013.
All proceeds will go to charity. The lead charity, the United Way, will receive 50% of the
proceeds. The other 50% will go to a local' civic organization based on their involvement level
and participation in helping us promote the events. (These events are described in detail for
you on the following pages.)
Why am I organizing these charity events? I am honoring the memory of my father, Carl Balcer,
who passed away in October last year. Carl Balcer Made a Difference in Ponca City and in the
lives of many people's living in Ponca City. I hope my efforts will continue to Make a Difference
and encourage others to do the same. (Details regarding his lifetime contributions are
described for you on the following pages.)
The local United Way and Chamber of Commerce have both endorsed these charity events . But
to make this a success we need your help. With your sponsorship donation we can Make a
Difference in Ponca City. Thank you for your consideration.

.Lew Wentz Golf Course Carl Balcer, whU,e mayor of Ponca City, Carl considered the improvement of the Lew Wentz Golf
Course a top priority, not only for the community but to attract visitors and new business to
Ponca City. Two major improvements implemented, while he was mayor, were the addition of
paved cart paths and a watering system. He believed Lew Wentz Golf Course, with its lakeside
location, to be one of the best courses in the area.
Last week, through private funding, a tee marker was placed on 'hole # 15, at Lew Wentz Golf
Course, in honor of Carl Balcer's six decades of public service to Ponca City. Please help me
Make a Difference.
