Willie Stargell Celebrity Golf 2010
The 8th annual Willie Stargell Celebrity Golf Tournament was held November 12-14, 2010, at the Country Club of Landfall. This important
and popular event celebrates the life of famed former Pittsburgh Pirates player Willie Stargell with friends, guests, celebrities, exciting events
and a golf tournament. Following a reception on Friday night, more than 300 people attended the Auction Dinner on Saturday evening. The Four
Knights provided the entertainment, and live and silent auctions helped raise funds for kidney disease research and individuals battling kidney
disease. On Sunday, 105 players, including former professional athletes, actors, coaches and Olympians, competed in the golf tournament. The
tournament was hosted by The Willie Stargell Foundation, a nonprofit organization, and all proceeds go toward The Willie Stargell Foundation,
the Willie “Pops” Stargell Dialysis Center, American Kidney Fund, both UNCW and CFC Nursing Schools, the National Kidney Foundation
and the Kidneyville Cruiser. “We’re always amazed at the generosity of sponsors and participants,” says event director Louise McColl.
