Walt Harris Golf Classic to benefit youth and families in Georgia

ATLANTA -- NFL standout and cornerback Walt Harris of the San Francisco 49ers will host a celebrity charity golf tournament to benefit youth and families on May 10, 2008, at Pine Mountain, Georgia’s Callaway Gardens. The Walt Harris Golf Classic is hosted by Harris’ not-for-profit organization Walt’s World Inc. Foundation. The tournament is a fundraiser for the foundation, which provides educational resources for adults, single mothers and economically deprived youth in Georgia’s Troup County. Harris was a highly successful player during his tenure at LaGrange High School in Troup County and created this foundation to give back to his hometown.

Those who wish to participate in the golf tournament can register at www.waltharrisgolfclassic.com. The cost of the tournament is $250 for individuals and $1,000 for teams. On a first-come, first-serve basis registered teams may be paired with a NFL player. There will also be an opportunity to mingle with the pros, including Walt Harris. The tournament will be played on Callaway’s Mountain View course, home to 12 PGA Tour events.

The tournament is part of the Walt Harris Celebrity Charity Weekend. The weekend includes a gala, kids day, free youth football clinic, and celebrity flag football.

The event will begin the afternoon of Friday, May 9, with the Grand Opening of the Walt Harris Community Resource Center. The resource center will serve a central location for other non-profit organization, job training, community assistance, and social service resources. The resource center will also provide space for community athletics, activities and special events.

Renee Adams, Executive Director for Walt’s World noted, “The resource center will make an invaluable contribution to Troup County. It will promote growth and stand as a fixture for our community. The celebrity weekend and the community resource center launch demonstrate Walt’s commitment to giving back.”
