Want to golf while giving hope to kids battling cancer?
As part of our long-term partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, The Melting Pot Restaurants, Inc. will host its second annual Melting Pot Golf Classic on Nov. 14 at Emerald Greens Golf Resort & Country Club in Tampa, Fla. to support St. Jude in the fight against childhood cancer.
Not a golfer? The event will also feature two cooking classes with Front Burner Brands (restaurant management company that supports The Melting Pot) Corporate Chef Shane Schaibly and GrillSmith Corporate Chef Joe Guli. With six locations in the Tampa Bay area, GrillSmith, an affiliate of Front Burner Brands, is a refined-casual, chef-inspired restaurant concept that specializes in innovative and creative interpretations of classic American dishes that surprise the palate, engage the mind and excite the senses.
The Melting Pot Golf Classic will feature Meredith Walusek from “The MJ Morning Show” on 93.3 FLZ playing golf in the tournament and a hole-in-one contest for the prize of a Lincoln MKX two-year lease donated by Parks Lincoln of Tampa. Captain Fear, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ mascot, will also be on hand.
Other tournament highlights include player gifts from golf’s leading manufacturers, raffle drawings, a live auction, a wine and cheese reception and an evening program including dinner and awards. The tournament will be open to all players starting at 10:30 a.m. with lunch sponsored by Front Burner Brands’ restaurant concepts Burger 21 and GrillSmith to be held from 11 – 12 p.m. followed by a 12 p.m. shotgun start.
Media sponsors include Brighthouse Networks, Clear Channel Radio and Clear Channel Digital.
The Melting Pot’s goal is to raise $100,000 through sponsorships and players for St. Jude. The registration deadline is Nov. 4, or when all spots have been filled. For more information and to register, please visit www.meltingpotgolfclassic.com.
