NFL star receiver Keyshawn Johnson hosted The Keyshawn Johnson Education Foundation Golf Classic May 12 at Tour 18 in Flower Mound, Texas. More than 100 players participated in the event, which raised more than $100,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas, the Nat Little Assistance Fund, and the Keyshawn Johnson Education Foundation.
A private welcome reception for players and distinguished guests was held the night before at Dave & Busters in Dallas. Bentley Dallas provided a one-of-a-kind Bentley golf cart, outfitted with a set of kid-sized clubs, a black iPod Nano® and signed by Keyshawn Johnson, making it a priceless auction item.
In addition to Bentley Dallas and Dave & Busters, other sponsors included American Airlines, Andrews Distributing Company, Hilton Anatole, RGT Capital Management Financial Advisors, Nike, Ciroc Vodka, FIJI Water, and Red Bull.
