Isabela, P.R. (July 23, 2013) – Usually it’s the land that supports a golf course. This time, the golf course is helping support the land.
On Saturday, September 21, 2013, The Links at Royal Isabela-the highly acclaimed golf course in Isabela, Puerto Rico-will host the second annual El Pastillo Golf Classic. All proceeds from the event will fund El Pastillo Conservation Trust, which was established by Stanley and Charlie Pasarell, natives of Puerto Rico and founders of Royal Isabela, in cooperation with Puerto Rico’s Departamento de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales (DRNA). The Trust is dedicated to preserving 115 acres of El Pastillo Beach and its surrounding cliffs.
“Royal Isabela is very lucky and proud to inhabit this spectacularly beautiful piece of earth,” says Stanley Pasarell, managing partner of Royal Isabela. “If we are going to protect this magnificent landscape with the cliffs, dunes, wetlands, caves, and native plant and wildlife, we are dedicated to being its stewards, as well. It is extremely important to my brother and myself that we treat this land properly, for now and for the future enjoyment of all.”
The Trust established four initiatives regarding the property, which is located near the northwest corner of Puerto Rico, approximately 90 minutes from San Juan. Those initiatives are the land’s protection, conservation, and restoration, along with education. The Pasarells also created the Trust to increase the community’s awareness and involvement in insuring that the land will be enjoyed for generations to come. Additional information may be found at elpastillotrust.org.
El Nuevo Dia, Puerto Rico’s preeminent media company (www.endi.com), is presenting sponsor. El Nuevo Dia is distributed daily throughout Puerto Rico and other parts of the United States.
The Golf Classic is played as a four-person team with a limited field of 48 players. There will be other events held on property throughout the weekend, including receptions, dinners, and an awards ceremony for participants and guests.
There also are other sponsorship opportunities whereby participating sponsors will receive media exposure in addition to being featured on tournament signage and in all collateral material. Sponsors will also be invited to play in the event.
This is a unique opportunity to play one of the world’s most highly acclaimed new golf courses while helping to preserve a vital part of Puerto Rico’s natural habitat.
