 PHOENIX, Ariz., January 2, 2008 - Sure, he can throw a baseball like nobody's business, but can he cast a line with the best of 'em?
Cy Young award-winning Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Webb and a host of other celebrities from Major League Baseball as well as the NFL and NASCAR will join teams of sportsmen for the ultimate offshore angling experience - and the kids of Arizona will be the ones to benefit.
The weekend of January 11 - 13, for $6000 per person, Brandon Webb's K Foundation will fly participants in his first ever Celebrity Offshore Tournament to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico via private air transport. They'll spend three days and two nights at the spectacular Pueblo Bonita Pacifica Holistic Retreat - with meals and drinks included.
From there, they'll board luxury fishing yachts with their celebrity teammates and try their hand at winning it all!
The tournament is the largest fundraiser for Brandon Webb's K Foundation, which works to improve the lives of critically and chronically ill children throughout Arizona by providing daily support and life changing experiences.
The "Field of Dreams program" provides kids with dream vacations and fantasy sports-related experiences.
This upcoming May, Brandon Webb will accompany ill children and their parents for Fantasy Day at Phoenix International Raceway and the Richard Petty Driving Experience.
Brandon also just opened the first two of what he hopes are many "Brandon's Lockers" at The Children's Health Center at St Joseph's Hospital. The toys, blankets, books and bears that are in the lockers will be given to patients in need of comfort, and the lockers will be continually refilled through Brandon Webb's K Foundation. These two lockers are expected to impact the lives of nearly 30,000 ill children.
Brandon has plans to place a "Brandon's Locker" in several hospitals around Arizona.
