The Inaugural Jordan Farmar Celebrity Golf Classic and Gala

Signups for the Golf Tournament have been closed. Gala tickets are no longer available online, but will be sold at the door. The Gala is an “All-White Affair” and starts at 8:00 PM Sunday at 1010 Wilshire in downtown Los Angeles.

As part of the larger efforts of the Jordan Farmar Foundation, Jordan is proud to announce the Inaugural Jordan Farmar Celebrity Golf Classic and Gala. The Gala and Golf Classic will be held this July 19th and 20th right here in Los Angeles, bringing athletes, celebrities, and others together for a wonderful weekend, all in the name of Charity. All of the money raised will go to the Jordan Farmar Foundation which supports various childrens’ charities in the Southern California area.

At the Gala, on Sunday Night July 19th, guests will get to mingle with Jordan and a number of other athletes and celebrities while taking in the view from 1010 Wilshire, voted downtown’s top roof. This exclusive gala is an “all-White Affair” and will give guests a taste of LA, from great good, to fashion, and music. Guests will also have the opportunity to bid on one of a kind sports memorabilia and event packages, with all the proceeds going to the Foundation. Admittance to the gala is included for those playing in the tournament, and tickets are available to the general public for $100 each. The Gala will begin at 8:00 PM. For ticket information, call the Jordan Farmar Foundation at 310 473-5445.

On Monday, July 20th, participants will join up with celebrities for a round of golf at the prestigious Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Ca. Sherwood Country Club is home to a championship 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature golf course which proudly hosts the Tiger Woods Foundation/Chevron World Challenge Tournament each year. One of the most challenging and exclusive courses in all of Southern California, Sherwood really is as good as it gets. Don’t miss this opportunity to take your shot at the best So Cal has to offer. Tee times start at 12:00 PM.

After the round join Jordan and the rest of the celebrities for a luncheon and reception to recap the great event.
