Music legends Vince Gill and Amy Grant and world renowned PGA Pro Fred Funk are joining forces in Aspen/Snowmass again this summer to benefit Challenge Aspen, announcing the 6th Annual Vince Gill and Amy Grant Golf Classic to be held August 3 and 4.

Grammy Award winners Vince Gill and Amy Grant will headline an evening complete with cocktails, live and silent auctions, dinner and an exclusive concert at Aspen Meadows Resort’s beautiful Doerr-Hosier Center on Monday, August 3. On Tuesday, August 4, Gill and Grant will be joined by event co-host and golf legend Fred Funk as they hit the links of the Aspen Golf and Tennis Club, ranked #17 on Golfweek Magazine’s “50 Best Municipal Courses for 2008-09.” All proceeds benefit Challenge Aspen, providing year-round recreational, cultural and competitive experiences for anyone with a disability.
The comprehensive “Golfers’ Deluxe” package includes golf with PGA Tour Pros and celebrity friends, two tickets to the Monday night gala, personalized instruction from PGA Tour Pros, VIP gift bags and complimentary food and beverages during all tournament functions. Cost is $2,500 per player or $10,000 per foursome. A limited number of “Evening Out” packages, including cocktails, auction, dinner and the concert for $500 per person, and “Music Lovers” tickets for the concert portion of the evening for $100 per person will be sold on a space-available basis.
Challenge Aspen will also be honoring a group of newly injured servicewomen recently home from Iraq. The group will be part of a new C.A.M.O. (Challenge Aspen Military Opportunities) retreat designed specifically for women and led by a team of professionals. The retreat will include both daily activities, such as rafting and equine therapy, and wellness and educational workshops, all in a retreat-style setting. As a special treat for the women, they will be joined by Amy Grant for part of their retreat and will be special guests at the August 3rd Golf Classic gala.
