Augusta, Georgia – Monday of Masters week just got a little brighter as Under Armour® Eyewear announces its sponsorship of the 1st annual CaddyBash in Augusta. The CaddyBash event will be held at the Azalea House, an off-course hospitality venue just two blocks from Augusta National Golf Club, the site of the 2017 Masters Tournament. During the evening hours following the Monday practice round, they’ll show the NCAA Championship game, hold virtual golf competitions and raise money to benefit Caddy For A Cure.
Supporting Caddy For a Cure is another example of UA Eyewear finding opportunities to connect with the game of golf in a meaningful way. Earlier this year UA Eyewear’s licensee, Eyeking LLC, signed a contract with the Association for Professional Tour Caddies (APTC), and a group of sponsored caddies will be in attendance at CaddyBash. “This is truly gearing up to be a memorable event with Zack Rasego, who caddies for Brendan Grace, and JJ Jaovac, caddy for Ryan Moore, set to attend CaddyBash. UA Eyewear’s partnership with the APTC and Caddy for a Cure has continued the conversation of how important it is to protect your eyes on the course”, says Tom Cox, VP of Sales for Eyeking.
Caddy For A Cure is a non-profit organization that raises money to support notable charitable groups through its professional golf programs. “In addition to facilitating involvement in the game and rehabilitation through our program, we were able to achieve a new benchmark this past year with a mortgage-free home giveaway to a wounded service member and his family. This hallmark achievement has fueled the drive to expand our military support this year, and we’re confident the CaddyBash at the Azalea House will be a big step in that direction” says Russ Holden, Founder of Caddy For A Cure. “We are honored and grateful for this amazing opportunity and show of support by UA Eyewear and Azalea House.”
The event is set to begin at 7:30 pm EST and tickets are available to purchase for $75.00 on www.azaleahospitality.com.
