Urban Youth Impact Welcomes Golfers to Play for the Children March 8-9 March 8, 2009

Urban Youth Impact will welcome supporters and guests to take their best swing for the underprivileged youth of West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach at its 2009 Golf Classic.

The annual dinner will be held March 8, 2009 at the Borland Center in Palm Beach Gardens, followed by the Golf Classic March 9, 2009 at Greg Norman’s Jupiter Country Club. Honorary Co-Chairs John and Sheila Rinker and Tom and Susan Fazio are bringing fresh energy and vision to the signature fundraiser that makes economic, educational and spiritual opportunities available for worthy area children and teens.

"Urban Youth Impact is overwhelmed by the generosity and spirit of the Rinkers and Fazios in their role in our organization," said UYI President Bill Hobbs. "We are dedicated to improving the lives and futures of the children of Palm Beach County, and it is uplifting to know such talented and focused individuals are working with us to make this a reality."

Other new personalities and organizations are lending their support to the Golf Classic this year. As part of a new relationship, Anushka Spa & Salon of CityPlace in West Palm Beach is making UYI the charitable beneficiary of a beautifying opportunity to the first holder of an Anushka "A List Card," worth $5,000 in services from the premier spa.

"We are so honored to be involved with an organization that does so much for inner city children most in need in our own downtown West Palm Beach community," said Janice Worth, co-founder of Anushka and long time advocate of children’s charities.

The "A List" card will be raffled off one for $50 and three for $125, beginning in January. For more information on the "A List" card, contact Sasha Cuevas at 561-833-1228 or visit www.AnushkaSpa.com.

The exclusive card will also be raffled at the Grand Opening Event/Pre-Party at Anushka Spa & Salon February 18, 2009. The winner will be announced at the March 8 dinner. Proceeds from the raffle will go toward UYI.

Additionally, Worth will join Curt Fonger, news anchor and TV personality for WPEC News 12 and FOX 29, in lending their talents to the dinner’s live auction.
