HOLLYWOOD, CA--(Marketwire - July 21, 2010) - The 3rd Annual Scott Medlock & Robby Krieger
Celebrity Concert & Golf Classic to benefit the Pat Tillman Foundation will be
held Monday, November 1, 2010 at Moorpark Country Club.
"We are honored that so many of our friends are returning to participate and
we are looking forward to meeting many new faces -- this is a particularly special
year for us as Pat is being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame,"
said Scott Medlock, event co-founder.
Co-founder Robby Krieger of The Doors fame concurs, "This is going to be an
extraordinary year. The Pat Tillman Foundation changes the lives of people every
day, and our goal is to contribute to their being able to do that."
The stunning Moorpark Country Club will be the site of this year's tournament
with world renowned comedian Gary Mule Deer as emcee of the day and evening
festivities. Many celebrity supporters have already confirmed including last
year's winning stars George Lazenby (aka James Bond from "Her Majesty's Secret
Service") and Scott Elrod (Jennifer Aniston's co-star in this Summer's
blockbuster "The Switch"), the close second and almost winners of the hole-in-one
grand prize of four new 2010 Mercedes-Benz from W.I. Simonson Mercedes-Benz
Stephen Bishop (Brad Pitt's co-star in the upcoming "Moneyball") and TNT's Aldis
Hodge from "Leverage."
Also returning this year are many keystone sponsors including W.I. Simonson
Mercedes-Benz; Monster Energy; Moorpark Country Club; Golf Channel; Best Buy;
Gibson Guitars; Anheuser-Busch; Loud Mouth Golf; Tommy Bahama Rum; Manchester
Financial; John Carson Foundation; Titleist; Harley-Davidson; HUB
International; Hill Financial Advisors; B3DigiGrafx; Nocture Productions and
Popular Press Media Group (PPMG).
Scott Medlock, friend of the Tillman family, said of Pat, "Pat (Tillman) gave
up a $3.6 million dollar contract with the NFL-Arizona Cardinals to go fight
for our country. Pat unfortunately lost his life while serving in Afghanistan
in 2004."
In June, the Pat Tillman Foundation awarded 60 men and women with the distinction
of being named Tillman Military Scholars for 2010. This deserving group was
awarded $720,000 in scholarship support to complete their educational goals at
31 universities across the country. Since the program launched in 2009, 112
Scholars have received over $1.3 million in scholarships. The Tillman Military
Scholars program funds scholarships to veterans, active service members and
their dependents, especially those who have been impacted by the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars. Currently Tillman Military Scholars represent nearly every
branch of the armed forces: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, National Guard
and Reserves.
The event, in its third year, is part golf invitational, part private celebrity
rock concert as co-founder Robby Krieger of The Doors fame takes the stage,
inviting along some of his celebrity friends for an impromptu, unforgettable
night of music and ultimately great fun, celebrating one of America's heroes,
Pat Tillman, whose legacy touches the lives of countless American's on a daily
basis.
