MIRAMAR, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 6th Annual Celebrity/Amputee Golf Classic presented by Automated HealthCare Solutions will take place Thursday February 10th and Friday February 11th, 2011 at the renowned Hyatt Bonaventure East Course in Weston, FL.
This one-of-a-kind charitable event is used as a platform to raise proceeds and awareness for the programs it benefits, and this year the proceeds will benefit two outstanding organizations Shake-A-Leg Miami and the Florida PDMP Foundation. The golf event’s primary beneficiary is Shake-A-Leg Miami which has developed a vocational program for injured service members coming back from Iraq or Afghanistan with physical, developmental and economic challenges; liberating them from a realm of imagination into the realm of experience by means of innovative sailing and water sports education and recreational programming. The event will also support the Florida PDMP Foundation that spearheads the fundraising to implement Florida’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. The Prescription Drug Monitoring Program will serve as an important tool in the fight against prescription drug abuse and diversion by helping to improve patient standard of care and stemming the tidal wave of prescription-drug-related doctor-shopping and criminal activity by pill mills.
“This tournament has proven to be something special, and a true reflection of each individual who participates in it,” said CAGC Tournament Founder and Director David Bowen. “From the actors and professional athletes to the incredible abilities showcased by our amputee participants, it’s an unbelievable time for a deserving cause.”
The two-day event includes a VIP Pairings Party and auction, as well as a breakfast the morning of the tournament and awards luncheon immediately following. Participants will have the opportunity to have their photo taken with the celebrities during the Pairings Party, as well as have a chance to play with a celebrity and an amputee during the golf tournament. Also, for those attending the event there is a special rate of $139 per night at the host hotel, Hyatt Regency Bonaventure Conference Center & Spa, 250 Racquet Club Road, Weston, FL 33326 P: 954-349-5655.
