MONTECRISTO RELIEF ORGANIZATION PLEDGES $500,000 TO AID HURRICANE
KATRINA VICTIMS. FUNDS TO GO TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS TO SUPPORT
THEIR RELIEF EFFORTS.
The
Montecristo Relief Organization today pledged $500,000 to the American
Red Cross to help with their heroic efforts to service the needs
of the citizens of the U.S. Gulf Coast. The first $250,000 of the
pledge will be forwarded to the Red Cross immediately. The balance
will be forwarded within ninety days. The Montecristo Relief Organization
was established in 1998 after several hurricanes devastated the
Caribbean. Since then, the Organization has funded numerous charities
that have directly helped rebuild people’s lives.
THE
TOURNAMENT
At the
heart of the World of Montecristo Relief Organization is the annual
Montecristo Cup Charity Pro-Am golf tournament. This four-day event
is attended by leading professional golfers from the PGA’s Champions
Tour and amateurs from across the United States and as far away
as Europe. Amateurs and pros enjoy playing together during the three-day
tournament, which raises funds for the relief effort. The Montecristo
Cup is recognized as one of the finest events of its kind. Click
here for more information on the Montecristo Cup.
The relief effort
is ongoing, and the need for support remains strong. If you would
