The 12th annual Earl Morrall/NFL Alumni Celebrity Charity Golf Classic is being planned. It includes golf pairings, a cocktail party, a silent auction and a golf tournament. Both the cocktail party and the auction will take place on November 3rd and the golf tournament will be on November 4th.
The proceeds from the event will go to the staff sergeant (SSG) Marc Scialdo’s scholarship fun and also the Trauma Imaging Foundation’s research and treatment for military veterans and NFL players who have both brain and neck injuries. The Marc Scialdo fund was created after war veteran SSC Marc Scialdo was killed in Afghanistan in March. His wife, Kara, set up the scholarship fund to help children and grandchildren of veterans for educational grants.
The event chair will be Earl Morrall, a former Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Colts quarterback. Many players from the Miami Dolphins 1972-73 season will be there including former Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula, Bob Griese and Gale Sayers, of many.
So far, the sponsors include Hilton Naples, Shula’s Steakhouse, Hideout Gold Club and the Meyer Corporation.
