David Ortiz is gearing up to host his 11th annual Celebrity Golf Classic, from 29 November through 2 December 2018 at the Casa de Campo Resort and Villas in La Romana. Among the many stars who’ve already promised to make an appearance: sporty VIPs Jackie Bradley Jr., Jim Rice, Ray Allen and Tim Wakefield; reality TV stars, such as former “Bachelor” alum Ben Higgins and “Dancing with the Stars” professional Sharna Burgess; and celebs from the entertainment world like rapper Ja Rule, as well as Tina and Richard Lawson, aka Beyonce’s mother and her actor hubby.
Proceeds from the four-day social event will support a serious cause: David Ortiz Children’s Fund. The nonprofit, founded in 2007, works with hospitals like CEDIMAT and Massachusetts General to provide lifesaving heart surgeries for children in the Dominican Republic and New England. To date, the golf outing has raised US$5 million for the foundation, treating more than 750 children.
More information about reserving packages during the long weekend of luxury can be found at the David Ortiz Children’s Fund site where there are a range of options starting at US$6,500.
