About Dennis Quaid Charity Weekend
The Fifth Annual Warrior Custom Golf/Dennis Quaid Charity Weekend presented by H-E-B was founded in 2003. This year’s edition will take place June 6-10, 2007, with more than thirty Hollywood stars anticipated to participate. All expenses of the Quaid Weekend are fully underwritten by sponsors, which allow 100% of the gross proceeds generated from the sale of event tickets and participant slots to directly non-profits. While on location filming The Big Easy in New Orleans nearly 20 years ago, Dennis Quaid fell ill and was sent to the doctor who founded the International Hospital for Children. While there, he learned about the organization’s role in servicing the need for children’s medical care and assistance in third world countries; and has supported them ever since. The Quaid Weekend was formed for the purpose of supporting children in Austin and internationally. Last year’s edition raised approximately $350,000. More than $1,000,000 has been raised since 2003.
