Alfred Dunhill Donates Coveted Playing Spot in Dunhill Links Golf Championship to Give Kids The World (GKTW) Charity

KISSIMMEE, Fla., April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Alfred Dunhill, the leading maker of English luxury goods for men, graciously donates the opportunity of a lifetime to be auctioned off at The 18th Annual Give Kids The World Black & White Gala -- one of Orlando's premier charity events.

The winner will have the unprecedented opportunity from October 5-8, 2006, to participate in the by-invitation-only Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, one of the most prestigious tournaments on the European PGA Tour. The donated package also includes business class airfare for two to St. Andrews, Scotland, where five-star accommodations await at the St. Andrews Bay Hotel and Spa for this unparalleled six-night, seven-day experience.

The auction will take place the evening of May 6, 2006, at the esteemed Peabody Orlando, host site for all previous GKTW Gala celebrations.

Off the course, the lucky auction winners will be invited to star-studded festivities surrounding the four-day championship. Past guests have included celebrities Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Dennis Hopper, Nigel Mansell, Boris Becker and Hugh Grant.

This unique package provides the chance to compete alongside some of the best golfers in the world and fulfill the dream of a lifetime. "Give Kids The World is truly honored by this incredible donation," said GKTW president Pam Landwirth. "By giving golfers the chance to fulfill a dream, Alfred Dunhill is helping us fulfill the dreams of many more children from around the world."

Proceeds from the auction will assist GKTW with its phased expansion project, which broke ground in June 2005, allowing the Village to serve even more families. The expansion will take the number of villa accommodations at GKTW from 96 to 240.
