BOSTON, Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 240
amateur golfers will compete in the Liberty Mutual Insurance
Invitational National Finals at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., February 26- March 1, 2015. The event is
the culmination of a series of more than 75 charity golf
tournaments around the country in 2014 hosted by Liberty Mutual and
local and national charitable organizations that raised more than
$7.2 million for charity.
"These foursomes represent 12,000 golfers who generously
supported more than 60 charities through our series of amateur golf
events, and we look forward to celebrating at TPC Sawgrass their
invaluable contributions to their communities," said John Coombe, vice president of brand management
and sponsorships at Liberty Mutual.
Two-time U.S. Open Champion and World Golf Hall of Famer Curtis
Strange, honorary chairman of the Liberty Mutual Invitational, will
be on-hand to interact with the players and conduct an exclusive
clinic for the field. "I am proud and honored to support the
Liberty Mutual Invitational, a series that has raised over
$28 million for so many great
charities in just five years," said Strange.
Wide Horizons For Children is just one example of the dozens of
Liberty Mutual Invitational beneficiaries, enabling the charity to
receive funding to expand its services to ensure the well-being and
security of vulnerable and orphaned children worldwide. "We
are deeply grateful to Liberty Mutual Insurance for including our
organization in the 2014 golf tournament series, as our inaugural
event raised nearly $500,000 to
support our mission," said Janice
Hoffman, Wide Horizons president and CEO. "Thousands
of orphaned and vulnerable children around the world will have a
brighter future because of this event. Having Liberty Mutual
by our side has made an extraordinary difference and we look
forward to building on this success in the years ahead."
