There will be a live auction, which will include golf trips to Ireland to play some of Ireland and Northern Ireland's championship links courses and opportunities to play some of the top golf courses in the United States.

"Each year, I so look forward to visiting with old and new friends who attend the Ann Liguori Foundation Charity Golf Classic. We all gather for an important cause and a lovely day of fun and fellowship. We have lots of goodies to offer our participants, thanks to our wonderful sponsors and donors. Maidstone is one of our golfer's favorite venues. It promises to be a very special day," says Ann Liguori.
