Soldiers' Angels & the Super Bowl

From FbL
Football Superstar Franco Harris has chosen Soldiers’ Angels to be the designated beneficiary of the 2009 Franco Harris/Lydell Mitchell Grid Iron Golf Tournament, to be held in Tampa during Super Bowl week! This special fundraising event has been conducted at the location of each Super Bowl since 1997, and has resulted in over $180,000 donated to a variety of charitable causes.
The Grid Iron Golf Tournament will be held during Super Bowl week in Tampa at the renowned Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club, one of Golf Digest’s Top 75 Golf Resorts in America and home to the PGA Tour’s Transitions Championship each March. The three-day event includes a visit with sports stars to the James A. Haley VA Medical Center, a charitable auction, the Immaculate Reception & Dinner, and the opportunity to sponsor a soldier for the tournament itself.
“Soldiers’ Angels is so honored to have been chosen to be the beneficiary of the Franco Harris/Lydell Mitchell Grid Iron Golf Tournament. The Tournament is a wonderful Super Bowl week tradition and will help us meet our mission that “No Soldier Go Unloved. We are so excited to be a part of this great event,” said Soldiers’ Angels founder and president, Patti Patton-Bader.
