USBGA to host golf fund raiser for Senator Obama (1488 hits)

The United States Black Golfers Association® (USBGA), the Nation’s Premiere Ethnic Golf Club officially endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States in July. The endorsement has provided for a 49 state fundraising campaign that will come to an end in Tampa, Florida with “Swing for the President 08™ Stay, Play, & Donate Weekend”, a fund raising golf tournament to be held on October 17-20, 2008 at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club, one of the only PGA courses owned by an African American..

"We have been aggressively recruiting golfers and planning this golf fund raiser since we officially endorsed the Democratic Presidential Nominee, states S. E. Day, President of USBGA. ‘Barack Obama believes in bringing about change to our great nation and its leadership from the status quo. The state of Florida is a swing-state with 27 delegates at stake. We are hosting Swing for the President 08™ Stay, Play, & Donate Weekend in Tampa, Florida to help the Senator win those 27 delegates. We will also raise money to help pay for his campaign obligations as a way of saying thank you. I feel comfortable in Sen. Obama’s qualities and his vision to lead this nation out of financial hardship into financial prosperity for all of its citizens.”

“Swing for the President 08™” will provide for a weekend of exhilarating golf and activities where Sen. Obama can participate and address Floridians just prior to the general election held on November 4, 2008. Please visit myusbga.com/events.html for information on the fund raiser.

USBGA will achieve this mission by creating the USBGA Championship Tour, a development tour for ethnic golfers that mirrors the Nationwide Tour® and the Hooters Tour®, which serves as qualifiers for entry into the PGA®. This Tour includes the USBGA National Championship®, HBCU Cup™, and the Military Cup™. Individuals can become members or donate by visiting www.myusbga.com. Membership is $99.00. Posted By: S. E. Day
