It’s hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner, isn’t it? I mean, this year is about a quarter of the way over even though it seems like it just began. Wow. Time flies. Sadly, every year, there are children who don’t have a fabulous Christmas like many others do. That is why I am happy to share this piece with you today. Rudy Gatlin {of Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers} will be hosting an upcoming golf tournament that will directly benefit Christmas 4 Kids, a non-profit organization that helps to bring joy to underprivileged children each year. Here is what we know so far.
Rudy Gatlin To Host Golf Tournament To Benefit Christmas 4 Kids
Grand Ole Opry member Rudy Gatlin is set to host this year’s Waddell & Reed 2017 Charity Golf Tournament benefiting Christmas 4 Kids on Friday, May 5 at the Hermitage Golf Course in Nashville.
“I’m so happy to donate my time to such a great cause,” says Gatlin. “With the money raised at this tournament, we’ll be helping a lot of kids go shopping this Christmas!”
Gatlin will donate his time and golf swing to make this Christmas a little more memorable for underprivileged children in Middle Tennessee. The event will raise money for Christmas 4 Kids, a non-profit organization that has, since 1982, been bringing the joy of Christmas to thousands of children who might not have otherwise experienced it. The tournament begins at 8:00 AM/CT and features a team scramble format. Prizes await all contest winners, as well as awards for team scores in multiple flighted divisions. All players will be treated to an executive goodie bag, cold beverages, snacks and breakfast as well as lunch.
Register to play in this year’s tournament here. The Hermitage Golf Course is located at 3939 Old Hickory Blvd, Old Hickory, TN. This year’s tournament is sponsored by Grace Pediatrics. For more information on Christmas 4 Kids, visit www.christmas4kids.org
What a wonderful cause this is! I hope they raise a TON of money during this golf tournament.
This is such a great cause and I hope the golf tournament is a big success. I remember going to a Gatlin Brothers concert back in the day. Love those guys!
I love it when celebrities use their “powers” for good! Helping underprivileged children is very dear to my heart.

Christmas 4 Kids sounds like a great non-profit. It is always necessary to do fund raisers throughout the year like this. Golf is super popular so I hope they raise a ton of money! It should be fun.

Always nice to see people who have made a difference in the music industry doing something to actually help other people. Good for him wanting to help out all these children. Much better than screaming foul language at a rally.
