— Annual charity event, to be held at Malibu Golf Club, Monday, June 2, kicks it up a notch with an exciting Helicopter Golf Ball Drop at the conclusion of the tournament —
Los Angeles, CA, May 20, 2014 — The 2014 Recording Industry Golf Tournament™ (RIGT), which will be held Monday, June 2, 2014, at Malibu Golf Club, is adding to the fun and festivities at this annual charity event with a Helicopter Golf Ball Drop at the conclusion of the tournament. This unique event will help to raise additional funds to benefit the music program at A Place Called Home, a dynamic community center and safe haven in South Central Los Angeles where underserved youth 8-21 years old are empowered to take ownership of the quality and direction of their lives through programs in education, arts and well-being. The tournament is again being organized by seasoned event producer Karen Dunn of KMD Productions, with Recording veterans Ed Cherney and Al Schmitt serving as Honorary Co-Chairs.
Anyone can participate in the Helicopter Golf Ball Drop, whether planning on attending the tournament in person or not. Numbered golf balls will be dropped out of a helicopter onto a target (a hole), and the balls that are closest in proximity to the pin win prizes based on their distance from that hole (you do not have to be present to win). RIGT are currently selling the numbered golf balls via the website at: http://lu6717.wix.com/recording-industry. Every person who “buys” a ball (or multiple balls) will be given numbers corresponding back to their purchase so they know where they stand – much like a raffle ticket. A complete list of prizes will be announced shortly.
Dunn has limited availability for sponsors and golfers as the event continues to gain momentum. In addition to the 18 holes of pristine golfing, the day will include a $1 million hole-in-one opportunity, contests for longest drive and longest putt, a “closest to the pin” competition, “funnest hole,” a putting contest, a silent auction and more. Dunn and the Record Plant’s Rose Mann-Cherney will be driving the “world famous tequila cart” to make sure all of the day’s participants are playing their best.
Confirmed sponsors include Audio-Technica, Clyne Media, Dave Collins Mastering, Design FX Audio, GC Pro/Sterling Audio, JBL Professional®, NAMM, PreSonus, The Recording Studio Insurance Program, Record Plant, SAE LA, studioexpresso.com / AlterMedia and TransAudioGroup, with many more to be announced within the week.
