Where there’s ALICE COOPER, there’s always fun. The rock ‘n’ roll legend and Paradise Valley resident really likes playing golf and having a good time. More importantly, he enjoys helping Valley youth.
Put those elements together and you get the 11th annual Alice Cooper Celebrity Amateur Golf Tournament, to be held Monday (May 7th) at the Talking Stick Golf Club, 9998 E. Indian Bend Road in Scottsdale.
The event will bring together around 30 local celebrities and 110 amateur golfers for breakfast, lunch, a live auction, entertainment, prizes and 18 holes of golf.
The tournament will benefit Cooper’s Solid Rock Foundation, which is raising funds to build The Rock, a 29,000-square-foot, multiuse teen facility centered around music and sports, at 33rd Avenue and Camelback Road in Phoenix.
Cooper created the foundation in 1995 with former youth minister Chuck Savale, now the group’s executive director.
Savale said groundbreaking on the $7.3 million facility may take place this fall.
“Alice is absolutely involved in the community,” Savale said. “Early on, it was ‘How can I give back?’ He wants a place teens can feel safe in, a sanctuary for them.”Read more here.
