(June 19, 2008 – Coral Springs, FL) – Caddy For A Cure, Inc., the program that offers golf fans a chance to be inside the ropes to caddy for PGA TOUR players, is returning to the 2008 AT&T National with four hugely popular PGA TOUR players: Fred Couples; Zach Johnson; Jerry Kelly; and Brett Wetterich. The tournament, hosted by Tiger Woods, will be held again at the historic Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, MD.
Caddy For A Cure offers its PGA TOUR player caddy opportunities through online auction services from its website (www.caddyforacure.com). 100% of all auction proceeds are donated to charity, including the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, which is the inspiration behind the Caddy For A Cure program. Multiple qualified charities will benefit from the program at the AT&T National, including The Tiger Woods Foundation and various youth programs in the greater D.C. area.
The caddy auctions for all players began on Friday, June 6th and will run for 3-weeks through Friday, June 27th. The caddy dates will be Tuesday, July 1st for Brett Wetterich and Jerry Kelly and Wednesday, July 2nd for Fred Couples and Zach Johnson.
Caddy For A Cure has partnered again with the Wounded Warrior Project which raises awareness and enlists the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, and provides unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs (woundedwarriorproject.org). Four wounded warriors will join the Caddy For A Cure participants and PGA TOUR players at the AT&T National.
“We are thrilled to be returning to this fantastic tournament with these incredibly talented players,” commented Russ Holden, Caddy For A Cure program founder and CEO. He continued, “We know all of the players we are offering have worldwide appeal, but we expect an especially huge draw for 2009 U.S. Team President’s Cup Captain and 15-time PGA TOUR winner, including a major victory at the Masters Tournament, Fred Couples. This is the first time he will participate with us and we are really looking forward to it. But then, Zach Johnson is a Masters Champion, too, and Jerry Kelly and Brett Wetterich have amazing golf resumes and experience. These players, this venue, the participation of four wounded war veterans from our partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project should make for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Caddy For A Cure winners are going to get a look and experience inside the PGA TOUR they will never forget at this event.”
