ANNIKA TO SERVE AS HONORARY CHAIR OF 2011 U.S. WOMEN’S OPEN

Colorado Springs, Colo. (Jan. 27, 2010) – Hall of Fame golfer Annika Sorenstam has been named the honorary chair for the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open, to be conducted at The Broadmoor, July 4-10. The Broadmoor was the site of Sorenstam’s first U.S. Women’s Open victory in front of a record-setting crowd in 1995. "I am extremely honored to be able to serve in this role with the USGA," said Sorenstam. "The U.S. Women's Open is our premier championship and when I won at the Broadmoor in 1995, it was my first professional victory in the United States. Both the championship and the venue will always hold a special place in my heart and I look forward to going back.”

We need your help today.....

Hello. 

My Foundation needs your help TODAY with our first-ever online giving competition! As you may have heard, I have joined 54 other athletes in the “Who Gives? Racing for a Cause” campaign.  This is a friendly competition to see who can raise the most money for their favorite cause.  We all choose one day to be "our day" where we try to "win" the competition by raising the most money.  I chose today to be our day since Mike and I will be celebrating our first anniversary on Sunday.

Sponsored by Athletes for Hope through Global Giving, our Foundation goal is to not only succeed in this campaign but also to "win" the daily race - TODAY!
 
Donations can be as small as $10, as they all make a difference. 100% of the funds donated will go towards implementing the SPARK curriculum to low income elementary schools with a high incidence of childhood obesity.  This program is clinically proven to teach kids how to live an active, healthy lifestyle through fitness and nutrition.

Please consider giving to our cause today.  The ANNIKA Foundation will match dollar-for-dollar every donation!  

Thanks a lot for your support!
