OREANDA-NEWS. April 20, 2016. The beautiful greens at Trump National Golf Club are abuzz with activity as preparations get well underway for the 2016 Ronald McDonald House Celebrity Golf Tournament, a yearly tradition that brings celebrities, corporate sponsors, participants and volunteers together for a day of friendly competition in support of a worthy cause.

Hosted by ACN Global Reach Charities, the event will take place on May 9th, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte – a home-away-from home for families with sick children. This year, thirty foursomes, each led by a celebrity captain, will take to the links to raise much-needed funds, as they enjoy a beautiful day on the golf course.

ACN is excited to announce DISH Network as the presenting sponsor of the 6th annual Celebrity Golf Tournament. DISH Network’s invaluable sponsorship will help ACN and the local community make a large and lasting impact on Charlotte’s House and for the families it serves. DISH Network has been a perennial sponsor of the tournament, and ACN is proud to partner with the company once again to make a difference for children and families in need.
