IMPROVING LIVES. INSTILLING HOPE. INSPRING COMMUNITIES.
Greetings Friends and Supporters,
I invite you to join me at The 8th Annual Atlanta Celebrity Classic on June 10 - 11, 2018.
Many years ago, I learned the importance of giving back to communities in need. Upon losing my mom, corporal Betty Smothers, in 1993 when I was a high school student, the community for which we lived rallied around my family. With emotional and monetary support from companies, friends, churches and others, my five siblings and I were given hope for a better future.
In memory of my mom, Warrick Dunn Charities (WDC) became the mission of my life. WDC has been able to assist 150-plus single-parent families and over 400 children in 15 markets including Atlanta, Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Detroit, Newark, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Tampa and many more with corporate and community support.
The 8th Annual Atlanta Celebrity Golf Classic will ensure a great time for a terrific cause. Golfers joined by our celebrity friends bring excitement and competition to the game which benefits War-rick Dunn Charities’ programs to serve families and children in need.
Warrick Dunn Charities’ programs build sustainable futures. In 2017, we provided financial literacy courses for low to moderate income individuals, scholarships to deserving students and nutrition education plus healthy meals for families to combat hunger.
My experience as a professional athlete in the National Football League (NFL) taught me that it takes teamwork to be successful. Through sponsorship and your presence, Warrick Dunn Charities can continue to improve lives across the country.
Our 2017 event was joined by professional sports friends and celebrities: Kent Bazemore (Atlanta Hawks), Mike Hill (FOX Sports), Gary Sheffield (Retired MLB) and Clyde Dexler (Retired NBA) to name a few.
Please join us for a memorable and classic golf experience.
I look forward to speaking with you at The 8th Annual Atlanta Celebrity Golf Classic.
Sincerely,
Warrick Dunn, Founder
