The Project to End Prostate Cancer is thrilled that Julius “Dr. J” Erving is now scheduled to attend the Know Your Score Celebrity Golf Tournament and Gala that will take place at Pawleys Plantation on August 18th. Erving will be joined by baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan and former NFL stars Lynn Swann, Ed “Too Tall” Jones and Richard Dent.
The event will be the fifth annual Know Your Score Celebrity Golf Tournament and Gala and all proceeds will benefit ZERO – The Project to End Prostate Cancer.
The event includes teams of four, who pay $2000 a team to join. Almost all of the teams are projected to have a celebrity with them this year. The celebrity host will be NBA player Gus Williams.
As tournament director and Zero Director of Marketing and Communications Heath Carter said,
“The longer it goes the more people hear about it, and it’s easier for us to get people to commit when they know people who were here in the past. Plus having Gus Williams as our celebrity host has helped. We already have people that have committed to return next year.”
For the price of the $2000entry fee, each time will receive a table of eight for the post-tournament gala. The gala will include a cocktail reception, dinner, performances by Branford Marsalis, and the emcee by Mitch Laurance with athletes discussing topics and answering questions.
The 300 seat event is nearly sold out for this year. As Carter said, looking to the future, “Next year we’re hoping to open it up to the community on a limited basis, probably sell a limited amount of tickets.”
