Ladies First Celebrity Golf Classic Announces Spectator Opportunities

For the first time portions of the May 18 – 20 event will be open to the public

LOS ANGELES, CA (April 17, 2007) – The only celebrity charity golf event to feature a full field of women celebrities, The Ladies First Celebrity Golf Classic, will be hosted by the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Cabazon, CA, May 18, 19 and 20. Golf will take place on Saturday the 19th at the exclusive Woodhaven Country Club and the Celebrity Tournament round will be played on May 20th at the Cimarron Golf Resort, one of Golf for Women Magazine’s Top 100 Women Friendly Courses.

For the first time ever, the Classic will make available spectator tickets for its Celebrity Tournament round on Sunday May 20. The $35 ticket price includes access to the spectator gallery, free parking, VIP Hospitality food and beverage, and a coupon for a complimentary round of golf at Cimarron Golf Resort (to be used at a later date; cart fee applies). Gates will open at 9 am.

As well, the Classic’s Saturday evening, May 19, Antigone Rising concert at VIBE at Morongo is also open to the public. The $35 ticket price includes free parking and the club’s doors open at 8 pm. The New York-based, five-woman rock band is making a rare west coast appearance at the Classic. For more information on Antigone Rising, please visit www.AntigoneRising.com.

A “combo ticket” to attend both spectator events is also available for $60 (a combined $10 savings).

All three ticket types can be purchased online, via the Ladies First Celebrity Golf Classic web site, at www.LadiesFirstGolf.org/tickets/. As well, individual Antigone Rising show tickets can be purchased in person in advance at the VIBE box office, and individual Classic Gallery tickets can be purchased in person in advance at either of two Roger Dunn Golf Shops locations in the desert (Indio, CA and Cathedral City, CA).

As it has since its inception, the Classic will benefit the Women’s Sports Foundation’s GoGirlGo! Initiative (www.gogirlgo.com). Founded in 1974 by Billie Jean King, the Women's Sports Foundation (www.WomensSportsFoundation.org) is a charitable educational organization dedicated to advancing the lives of girls and women through sports and physical activity.

According to Tournament Director, Jennifer Rottenberg, “Ticket buyers will not only enjoy some great entertainment, they’ll also feel good knowing they are supporting a great cause, with thirty out of each thirty-five dollar individual ticket, and fifty dollars out of each combo ticket, going directly to charity.” She added, “We are hoping for great attendance and great support at both events, and are sure all our attendees will have a wonderful time!”

The Classic is welcoming back a fantastic roster of blue-chip sponsors and corporate partners, including: American Laser Centers, Chuao Chocolatier, Golf for Women Magazine, Limelight Solutions, Michelob Ultra, Mirassou Winery, Penta Water, Powerbar Pria, Starbucks Coffee Company, and Tour Vision Eyewear, with more sponsor announcements soon to follow.
