Golf Eating Outing to benefit breast, prostate coalitions May 9
If you like golf and you like to eat - and you like to support worthy organizations - the Touch of Italy-Pru Gallo Realtors Foundation has just the thing for you.
The foundation will host its first Golf Eating Outing Thursday, May 9, at The Peninsula. Sponsored by NuCar's Lewes Auto Mall, the event combines great golfing and great eating to benefit the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, the Delaware Prostate Cancer Coalition, and the Outreach and Psychosocial Services of Beebe Medical Center's Tunnell Cancer Center.
In addition to 18 holes of golf on the Jack Nicklaus-designed Peninsula Golf Course, the Golf Eating Outing will start with a 9 a.m. breakfast featuring fresh bagels and lox from Surf Bagel and other assorted breakfast specialties from New York City. After a shotgun start at 10 a.m., golfers will take a break for lunch with assorted hot and sweet sausage and pepper heroes and hot dogs from Biancardi's of Arthur Avenue in New York.
After more golf in the afternoon, players will assemble at The Peninsula clubhouse for cocktail hour and dinner which will include a seafood raw bar, 16-ounce New York strip steaks and four-pound lobsters.
Hey, it is all about golfing and eating.
Cost for the benefit is $300 per golfer or $1,200 for a foursome. Those who want to eat but not play golf can buy a $100 ticket for the lobster and steak dinner. Other sponsorships are also available.
