Ticket sales sold out around 100 golfers and Jennings was a bit surprised, though happy. The ultimate goal of the event was to raise funds for the Greg Jennings Foundation to give out grants to youth education programs in Michigan and Wisconsin.
In attendance were Green Bay Packers Jeff Saturday, Jeff Sitton, Chastin West and Donald Driver, Arizona Cardinal Larry Fitzgerald, Chicago Bear Tyler Clutts and Detroit Lion Ndamukong Suh. TV personality Kelly Perine and celebrity Mike Phillips rounded of the group.
The event has previously been held in Milwaukee, WI and Jennings was deeply impressed by the end result of the tournament. The first showing of the event in his hometown went off without a hitch and he predicts the event will return to Kalamazoo next year for a “bigger and better” experience.
