2009 Celebrity Ray Goff Tees Off For A Cause!

Every golfer swings with a target in mind.  When that target is to raise money for a charitable organization, the flag at the end of the green doesn’t seem so far away when the target changes to a new goal of making a difference in the lives of thousands affected by the charity benefiting tournament.

Charity golf tournaments can do much more than just call attention to organizations in need.  Charity tournaments can raise serious cash!  This past May, the Stadion Athens Classic at UGA raised approximately $88,000, which went to dozens of non-profits.  Coming up on Monday, July 12, the Sixth Annual Bulldogs Battling Breast Cancer golf tournament will help raise money and awareness for breast cancer.

The Georgia Club Foundation created a golf tournament in 2008 to raise money for the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia and the then up-and-coming Foundation.  The Georgia Club Foundation Celebrity Golf Tournament has since grown into a spectacular event, featuring activities such as live and silent auctions, a luncheon, raffle drawings and an aerial ball drop.  All proceeds from the day benefit the Food Bank and Foundation.

The 2009 tournament raised over $30,000!  With the additions of a lunch and auction in this tournament, the total money raised in the 2009 event tripled the amount raised in the inaugural tournament. 

The Third Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament & Auction, featuring Master of Ceremonies, retired UGA Gym Dogs Coach Suzanne Yoculan, is set for Saturday, July 31, 2010!  The golf tournament will feature sports and entertainment figures from Georgia, and will be followed by a lunch and auction.  The tournament fee is $200 per person or $800 per team.  The cost for lunch is $20.  The doors will open at 3:00 for all to join, free of charge, to participate in the auction and Yoculan Ball Drop. 

All proceeds from the day will again benefit the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia and The Georgia Club Foundation.  To register for the golf tournament, please call 770-725-8101.  To purchase a lunch ticket, please call 770-725-8107.
