More than 20 teams of AFTRA performers, sports stars and golfers turned out to support the Inaugural Frank Nelson Fund Celebrity Golf Classic hosted by Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach Byron Scott, which took place July 19 at Mountain Gate County Club in Los Angeles.
The rolling hills of the Mountain Gate course and the blue skies provided the perfect backdrop for a day of golf, which featured sponsored holes, lunch by California Pizza Kitchen and an awards ceremony later in the day.
Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Frank Nelson Memorial Sick & Benefit Fund, which provides emergency financial aid and other resources to qualified members of AFTRA Locals west of Omaha.
The long-standing mission of the non-profit fund -- which is not funded by member dues -- is to help qualified members who face a crisis caused by illness, injury or other emergency with temporary financial assistance for basic livings needs.
