The Los Angeles Urban League requests your special participation and support for the 2010 Los Angeles Urban League/Jim Hill Celebrity Golf Classic which will be held on Friday, October 22 at the Pacific Palms Resort.  Once again, the tournament will feature sports legends as well as film, television and music celebrities as players to play with individual and corporate teams. As he has done for 12 years, renowned sportscaster Jim Hill is hosting the day of fun and golf to benefit the Los Angeles Urban League and the more than 100,000 citizens that the League provides assistance to each year. The League is calling all golfers to join corporate, business and community leaders who want to help urban minorities to continue to fight for equal opportunity and economic self reliance! The day begins with a 10:00 am tee time “shotgun” start and includes lunch and the awards banquet. Golfers should come prepared to bid on exciting auction items and raffle prizes. 

We are seeking golfers to play on a team of four and a celebrity will join you.

We seek sponsors to make this another spectacular Urban League event.  Sponsors are needed to provide gift items for tee bags, hole contests and activities, auction items and any way you can bring fun to the table.  Various levels of sponsorship does get you a foursome with a celebrity, company recognition on all League materials, and all access to event activities.

Please contact Dannete.Wilkerson@laul.org for sponsorship and golfing details.  Whatever way in which you serve, YOU ARE APPRECIATED!

With the Whitney Young Jr. Dinner fast approaching, the League would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors.
