(Westhampton, New York – May 10, 2017) — The 19th Annual Ann Liguori Foundation Charity Golf Classic is pleased to announce that the charity tourney, benefiting cancer research and prevention, is sold out for the 19th straight year.
This year’s tournament takes place at the Maidstone Club in East Hampton, N.Y., June 8. The Maidstone Club was founded in 1891 with majestic holes alongside the Atlantic Ocean, recently restored in 2012 by the acclaimed golf course design team, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw.
Ann Liguori, renown sports talk show host/interviewer/author and golf correspondent for WFAN Radio and CBS Sports Radio Network, hosts the popular charity event every year on the East End of Long Island. Sports Innerview with Ann Liguori is heard Saturday mornings 9-10 AM EST on NPR’s WPPB 88.3 FM and on-line at peconicpublicbroadcasting.org.
The annual charity tournament, played each year at a prestigious golf course in The Hamptons, raises money and awareness for not-for-profits that focus on cancer prevention, care and research, including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, KIDS NEED MORE, a camp on Shelter Island for children with cancer and their siblings, and a variety of organizations that support this cause. ALF also works to educate young people about the importance of good nutrition and regular exercise.
Another program the Ann Liguori Foundation supports is the ALF Sports Media Scholarship, assisting young women hoping to pursue a career in sports media and the Jim Liguori Memorial Scholarship at the University of South Florida to help students in need.
Emma Beltrandi, a sport’s broadcasting major at Ithaca College, is the recipient of the 2017 Ann Liguori Foundation Sports Media Scholarship, recently awarded at the NY WICI Matrix Awards Luncheon in Manhattan.
