Alpha Broadcasting helps promote unique opportunity to be inside the ropes for a day for charity
(August 12, 2010 – Coral Springs, FL) – Caddy For A Cure, Inc., the professional golf opportunity of a lifetime to go inside the ropes and caddie for a day, is offering another LPGA opportunity for LPGA winner, superstar and fan favorite, Christina Kim. The caddie opportunity is for Christina during the Kraft Pro am round preceding competition at the SAFEWAY CLASSIC presented by Coca Cola on Thursday, August 26th. The tournament is being played at the Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Ridge, Oregon just outside of Portland.
Caddy For A Cure offers PGA TOUR and now, LPGA Tour, caddie opportunities through its website (www.caddyforacure.com) and linked auctions. 100% of auction proceeds are donated to charity. For the SAFEWAY CLASSIC, funds will be directed to the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, the LPGA Foundation in support of the USGA-Girls Golf program, the Safeway Foundation and Christina’s charity of choice.
“We are thrilled to participate again with this unique program that directly supports the charitable mission of the LPGA tournaments,” states Gail Graham, retired LPGA professional and president of the LPGA Tournament Owners Association. “We are always looking for ways to get closer to our fans and this is a perfect and unique way to accomplish that, particularly with a player as popular as Christina. This tournament is always exciting, so it’s a great venue for participating with Caddy For A Cure.”
Russ Holden, Caddy For A Cure founder and veteran PGA TOUR caddie added, “It is such an honor to be offering this wonderful opportunity with Christina. We launched our program with the LPGA this year and had a great experience. Christina is known for bringing fans closer to the game by her animated and vocal style of play and flamboyant dress, so this will be a lot of fun.” He continued, “Another thing that’s great about this opportunity is that it is being coordinated with one of the tournament presenting media partners, Alpha Broadcasting, who owns 6 radio properties in Portland and a statewide network reaching 18 markets outside of Portland. Alpha Broadcasting is promoting this exciting opportunity through their station Sportsradio 95.5FM, The Game (www.955thegame.com/pages/7832921.php). They will also be doing a live broadcast on the John Canzano Show during the practice round.” He concluded, “We always look forward to providing our caddie participants with experiences they will never forget, and this opportunity with Christina at the SAFEWAY CLASSIC will be just that. It’s a great way for fans to make a difference in the lives of many people who really need it through the great game of golf.”
