THE SPONSORS

Why should your company sponsor our event?  Good food, good entertainment, good music, good competition, good people, all coming together for a good cause.  The question should be:

Why wouldn't you sponsor?

It is sure to be a wonderful opportunity for networking and just a fun event overall. We are very fortunate to have Mark Calcavecchia who will be present to hit a shot with each team and will hold a Meet-and-Greet. Blair O'Neal and Mina Harigae will be stationed on separate Par 3 as well and they are phenomenal ladies to watch on the LPGA scene. Football players  Darren Sharper, Roman Harper, and football legends Gerald McNeil and Dan Pastorini will be joining some of our lucky Diamond and Platinum level sponsors on th course and will be present for a Meet-and-Greet with all participants.  Dayna Steele will emcee the event, also participate in the Meet-and-Greet and play along with one of our major sponsors. We will also have the New Orleans Saintsations present throughout the event. The Zydeco Dots, The Guzzlers and Kevin Black featuring the Kevin Black Band will kick-off our two day event with a great concert during the BBQ, Gumbo and Chili Cook-off.
