You can be knocked out in many ways; however, we want to knock you out with laughter this time! This year we present our first spectacular golf tournament at Shingle Creek Golf Club on Friday, Sept. 15 at 8 am, coupled with an evening of thrills and comedy, music, and excitement at our silent auction, dinner and black-tie gala scheduled at Universal’s Royal Pacific Hotel and Resort. Celebrity golfers Andia Winslow, Dakoda Dowd, Julius Erving, Fred McGriff, Antonio Tarver and others will help us kick off this inaugural golf outing at Thursday’s Pairings Party and live auction!
The evening’s gala beginning at 6:00 PM on Friday night will be a worthy affair and promises to be a night filled with fun, fun, and more fun as you interact with our family, special guests, and local and national celebrities. Come experience Stand-Up for a Cure (Aldo Juliano, Jim Summers and Juan Canopil), three comics, thousands of miles, millions of laughs, all in the fight to beat cancer! In addition to this, we have two special surprise guests for our musical entertainment and you will also hear the melodic smooth sounds provided by Bethune-Cookman’s Ultimate Jazz Combo!
