NDA and The PGA - A winning combination for four years!

We are delighted to share with you that we are once again working with the Northern Trust Open and its Tickets-Fore-Charity program.  From February 12-16, 2014, the best PGA golfers in the world will come to the beautiful and historic Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades to play in the Northern Trust Open.

Golf 80% of the profits from every ticket sold by NDA goes to NDA!!
20% of the profits from every ticket sold by NDA goes to The City of Hope.

We encourage you to 'spread the word' to family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, from golf enthusiasts to those who enjoy seeing professional athletes up-close and personal. Northern Trust Open tickets would make a wonderful Christmas stocking stuffer!!
