In 2026, Saucon Valley hosted the 78th U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. I managed communications and marketing surrounding the Championship, developing member and internal communications, supporting volunteer recruitment and coordinating promotional and recognition efforts with local supporters.
My work spanned the months leading into the Championship through the event itself, bringing together communications, publications, design and event support for members, volunteers, players, spectators and community partners.
Volunteer Recruitment
Preparing for the championship began long before players arrived. I developed volunteer recruitment materials to build awareness, communicate opportunities and encourage members to take part in bringing a national Championship to Saucon Valley.
Official Championship Program
I designed and produced the Official Championship Program for players, members, spectators and supporters. The publication brought together essential Championship information with Saucon Valley history, original editorial content and supporter advertising, creating both a practical event resource and a lasting piece from the Championship.
Volunteer Handbook
With hundreds of volunteers supporting the Championship, information needed to be comprehensive without becoming difficult to navigate. I designed and produced the Volunteer Handbook as a practical reference for schedules, maps, procedures, contacts and essential event information volunteers could use throughout the Championship.
Connecting the championship with the community
I coordinated communications and creative supporting the Championship’s local supporter program, working with participating businesses and organizations on advertising, recognition and event materials. My role also included materials for the supporter golf outing and cocktail reception, helping carry the Championship experience beyond the competition itself.
