The weekend kicked off Sunday April 10, 2005 at the home of Brad
and Nikki Johnson for a private lunch with the celebrities, and sponsors.
The activities kicked in to high gear Sunday evening at Golden Eagle Country
Club with a dinner party,
and auction. Even though the Masters went into a play off, this
did not stop participants, celebrities, and sponsors from attending the star
studded party. In attendance were over 350 people to help Brad Johnson raise
money for the Ronald McDonald House.

The event was a huge success due, in part to the host hotel The Hampton Inn
& Suites®.
Without a good nights sleep, and excellent accommodations these guys would
have never made 18 holes of golf, and all the events surrounding the
weekend.
Special thanks goes out to Ross Wagers- General Manager and Michelle
Wilson-Director of Sales for joining up with Brad Johnson, and the Ronald
McDonald House to raise money for a great cause.
