Farmar’s gearing up for two days of fundraising to benefit a variety of charities supported by his foundation including Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA, Seeds of Peace Camp, Peres Peace Center Basketball Clinics, and others. The inaugural Jordan Farmar Celebrity Golf Classic and Gala will be held on July 19-20 In Los Angeles…the Gala will be Sunday evening at Ten-Ten Wilshire in L.A. and the Golf Classic will be held on Monday at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California.

At the Gala guests will get to mingle with Jordan and a plethora of invited hotties and celebrities while enjoying the usual party swag- awesome food, music, and auction items to include unique sports memorabilia and event packages…the following day, athletes and celebrities will golf for the greater good. For those interested in a night of fun I highly recommend you purchase a ticket to the Gala because they are only $100.00 and it will be a sell-out. You can’t even go to a Lakers game and get out of Staples Center for less than that, so why not cough up a few bucks to party with some Lakers and their celebrity fans? (For ticket information, call the Jordan Farmar Foundation at 310 473-5445 or visit the website.)

Partial list of hotties invited to Jordan Farmar’s “All White Affair” include: George Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Jack Nicholson, Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Earvin Magic Johnson, Rob Morrow, Mia Hamm, Flea, Kenny Lofton, Royce Clayton and Darryl Strawberry (Huh? He still around?), UCLA coach Ben Howland, and Lakers’ teammates Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, Luke Walton, Trevor Ariza, Derek Fisher, and others.

Spectacular Freedom is a 501 (c)(3) Charity that provides housing, hope and healing for those in recovery from drug and alcohol addictions.  This is our first year hosting a Golf Classic so we are hoping for as much support as possible from our sponsors, players and others in attendance.  The celebrities we have lined up are Paula Tricky, Richard Karn, Patricia #9 spokes model from Deal or No Deal, Don James and possibly Jay Buhner and Gordon Clapp.  We are hoping other celbs will want to add their names to our roster and be apart of a great charity.  
The cost for this event is only $175 and includes entry into all events, 18 holes of golf, riding cart, dinner and various awards.To help us properly plan for this event, please pre-register by calling Karen Cunningham, tournament coordinator at (360) 528-1287 or email spectacularfreedom@live.com
