The weekend-long event includes a pairings dinner, a meet-and-greet with the celebrities, a silent auction and of course the round of golf. Past celebrity appearances have been made by: Davey Johnson, Frank Viola, Hunter Pence, Ray Lankford, Gary Carter, Tim Wakefield, Zack Greinke, Andrew McCutchen, Tim Raines, Vince Coleman, and many more current and former major league baseball players.
