NEW YORK - The First Annual BJ Upton Celebrity Golf Classic will be held on Tuesday, January 27th at the Hunter's Green Country Club in Tampa, FL. The tournament, which will be attended by many of BJ's Tampa Bay Rays teammates, local athletes and celebrities, will benefit St. Vincent de Paul.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul provides three meals a day 365 days a year for the hungry and homeless of St. Petersburg, FL. They also prove a night shelter and other services for those in need.
As St. Vincent de Paul is just a few blocks away from Tropicana Field, BJ took an interest in their work in the community and wanted to help. By holding this golf tournament, he hopes to raise money for the hungry, the homeless, and the poor of St. Petersburg.
Registration begins at 9:45 am on the 27th with a tee off time scheduled for 11 am. The tournament will be followed by a dinner and memorabilia auction that will include signed jerseys, balls and memorabilia from superstars in all sports and will include many items from the 2008 American League Champion Tampa Bay Rays.
If interested in playing in the tournament please contact Latricia Goding at 757.532.8701 or 727.836.970 or email her at LaGoding@hotmail.com.
If interested in making a donation please make checks payable to St. Vincent de Paul and send to:
