New York, NY June 22, 2010 - Hedge Funds Care, a global non-profit
organization which raises funds and awareness within the alternative investment
industry for programs that work to prevent and treat child abuse, announced
today that it will hold its 3rd Annual East Coast Golf Tournament
on Monday July 19, 2010 at the Greenwich Country Club (19 Doubling Road,
Greenwich, CT 06839). There will be a
luncheon preceding the match at 11:00am.
Shotgun will be at 1:00pm with a cocktail reception to follow at approximately
6:00pm. Members of the alternative investment community who tee off on
Monday, July 19th will have a chance to win raffle prizes including
a threesome of golf at Bayonne Golf Club, a threesome of golf at Galloway
National, threesome at Round Hill Club, tickets on British Airways, a threesome
of golf at the Trump National in Bedminster and a twosome at Winged Foot, and
many more. Moreover, the winner of the
hole-in-one contest, sponsored by HedgeServ, will drive off in a Mercedes Benz
C300 Sports Sedan. "This year's Hedge Funds Care Annual Northeast Golf Tournament is
going to be the best yet by far," said Glen Dailey, Managing Director, Jefferies
& Co. "While we will have a great
time playing a few holes with friends and colleagues, and may even win some exceptional
prizes, the most important thing to remember is that the money we raise with
this tournament will truly make a difference in the lives of children who
suffer from child abuse and neglect." Sponsorships
and only a very limited number of foursomes and spots for single golfers are
still available.
