The proceeds will benefit the children of Central Florida suffering from chronic kidney disease and seeking treatment at the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. These children will have the opportunity to receive their care in a state-of-the-art facility designed exclusively for children.

The Rosen College of Hospitality Management at the University of Central Florida (UCF) will also be facilitating various components of the event. Rosen College students in the CMAA chapter and those enrolled in golf and club management classes during the fall 2011 semester will have the opportunity to volunteer and attend the event, transcending the traditional boundaries of the classroom while working alongside experienced industry professionals at one of the country’s most recognizable golf clubs.
Several sponsorship opportunities also exist from $100 per person to attend the Luncheon and Awards Ceremony to $12,500 for the Diamond Sponsorship which includes four player spots, a stay and play package for 4 at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge, play on area courses, sponsor printed materials and recognition and more.
