Officials announced that the 2010 World Golf Championships-CA Championship, which will again host the best golfers from around the globe on March 8-14 at TPC Blue Monster at Doral, will continue to build on a program launched last year that gives South Florida charities the opportunity to participate in TICKETS Fore CHARITY.

The 2009 CA Championship TICKETS Fore CHARITY program welcomed 50 charities and raised more than $40,000 by promoting tickets sales to the event in which 100 percent of the net proceeds went to charity.

Registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations are invited to participate in TICKETS Fore CHARITY by promoting the sale of tournament tickets. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from these ticket sales will be donated to charity. Each participating organization will receive 75 percent of the net proceeds from the tickets they sell, with the remaining 25 percent donated to The First Tee.

"Last year, TICKETS Fore Charity was a great success for a first-year program. We look forward to building on that success for our 2010 event and raising an even greater number of dollars for charities throughout South Florida through this program," said Executive Director Eddie Carbone. "We invite local organizations to come partner with us so that together, we can enrich and strengthen this community and also provide them the opportunity to become aligned with one of the most prestigious events in professional golf."

The TICKETS Fore CHARITY initiative is scheduled to kick off on Thursday at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa. The information session will be followed by lunch and is scheduled to begin at 11:30 am.

Non-profit organizations interested in participating in the program may call Marc Raiken at the CA Championship tournament office at (305) 513-4653 ext. 104.
