Hoge Starks Ward Celebrity Golf Classic for Children

Since 1994, the Hoge Starks Ward Celebrity Golf Classic for Children has raised more than $1,825,000 for children in need.

Former Steelers player Merril Hoge, along with current Steelers Max Starks and Hines Ward, invite Steelers coaches and players, and other celebrities, to golf with foursomes from the area and from across the country to raise awareness and funds for programs of the Highmark Caring Foundation. The 2009 Golf Classic will be held on Monday, May 18.

The cost for a foursome to play in the Classic is $3,000. Contact us at the number below for more information, or if you would like to reserve a foursome.

Support for children through the Celebrity Golf Classic can also be provided by participation as an Underwriter, a Patron, or a Signage donor. Through donations at many levels from $7,000 to $300, and with a range of recognition for individuals or companies, including signage, advertisements in the Classic's program book or various other marketing opportunities, the Hoge Starks Ward Celebrity Golf Classic for Children offers many opportunities to work with Steelers players and coaches to help support children in need.
