WHAT:
The first-ever Callaway Golf Foundation Challenge is a pro-celebrity golf tournament to benefit groundbreaking cancer research projects supported by the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF). This significant fundraising event pairs leading professional golfers with celebrated actors and other famous personalities for a round of golf in a "Modified Best Ball" tournament format. During the event, amateur golfers had a chance to work on their technique at the Annika Sorenstam-David Leadbetter Clinic and received a chance to enter the "Hit A Car, Win A Car" contest to win a new Mercedes-Benz car.
Proceeds supported EIF's Cancer Research Programs to fast track better prevention methods and improved therapies for ovarian, breast, colon and prostate cancers. In addition to the Callaway Golf, Mercedes-Benz and Pravda Vodka were also sponsors.
