More stars to join the charity golf tournament

With only two weeks until the VELUX EHF FINAL4 Charity Golf tournament, more handball stars and legends have confirmed their participation at the event supporting the German Cancer Aid.

On Friday, 31 May 2013 at 12:00 hrs passionate golfers, former handball players, EHF officials, media representatives as well as some lucky auction winners will unpack their golf clubs again at Golf & Country Club Velderhof to collect money for a good cause.

In the upcoming second edition, golfers have again the opportunity to team up with and compete against VIP, and to share the tournament’s special atmosphere. The entry fee will be donated to the German Cancer Aid.

Four great names of handball have been added to the list of the participants, where they joined a gold medalist from the 2007 World Championship Christian Schwarzer and another former German international Frank von Behren.

The former World Handball Player of the Year Daniel Stephan, the 2012 European Champion Lars Christiansen and both coaches of the silver medal winning Swedish team from the 2012 London Olympics, Ola Lindgren and Staffan Olsson, will enter the tournament.

Last year the event supported by adidas and held during the VELUX EHF FINAL4 weekend attracted considerable interest as well as celebrity and amateur players. All proceeds from the event went to supporting cancer care and a total amount of €38,826.13 were raised last year - the largest amount to be donated to a charity partner since the event began in 2010.

One of the last year's participants, Bogdan Wenta will change the golf green for a handball court at the LANXESS arena as he will lead the VELUX EHF FINAL4 newcomers Vive Targi Kielce at the tournament.

The winner of the tournament gets a personal golf club fitting at the TaylorMade Center of Excellence in Herzogenaurach, Germany, including a brand new TaylorMade iron set and many other prizes.
