BI-LO CHARITY CLASSIC TEES UP HOLIDAY SPECIAL MAKING PLAYER SPOTS AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY
Nation’s Largest One-Day Charity Golf Tournament Offers Holiday Pricing
GREENVILLE, S.C. (December 15, 2009)– The BI-LO Charity Classic, the largest one-day charity golf tournament in the United States, will be held June 5–7, 2010, and this year members of the community can join with BI-LO Charities in raising money for organizations across Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
The BI-LO Charity Classic is offering special holiday pricing through February 28, 2010, which offer the public a chance to participate in the tournament and related events while raising funds for non-profit organizations within their own communities.
Player spots, which are valued at $850 each, will be available for only $650 during the holiday season, making the package an ideal gift for golf enthusiasts looking to experience some of the Southeast’s most esteemed golf courses. The Charity Classic takes place on more than a dozen courses in Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina and gives participants a special opportunity to tee off at some of the area’s finest golf courses, including Bright’s Creek Golf Club, the Cliffs at Glassy, the Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards, Champion Hills and other beautiful, renowned courses.
A player spot also includes admission for the player and a guest to other first-class activities throughout the weekend of the BI-LO Charity Classic.
“We are very excited to announce the special holiday pricing for the player spots,” said Executive Director of BI-LO Charities Carol Browning. “We designed the holiday special for the community to take advantage of the Carolinas’ top golf courses while supporting organizations throughout the Southeast.”
