Proceeds To Benefit The Team Micky Ward Charities
 

Legendary junior welterweight boxer "Irish" Micky Ward has proudly announced the first annual Team Micky Ward Charities Golf Classic will  be held on Friday, June 6, 2008, at the luxurious Green Meadow Golf Club in Hudson, New Hampshire. All proceeds from this tremendous event will go to benefit the  Team Micky Ward Charities.

In his nearly 19-year career as a professional fighter, "Irish" Micky Ward captured a WBU world title, had roughly 30 bouts telecast on ESPN, an additional 7 on HBO, and the first of his three epic fights with Arturo "Thunder" Gatti is considered by many to be the greatest fight of all time. Ward's historic life and career has captured the hearts and souls of boxing fans, as well as Paramount Pictures. The major movie production company is producing a movie based on the life and career of Micky Ward. Filming for the movie, which is aptly to be named "The Fighter," is currently in the works.

"This tournament is a heck of a lot of fun, and the proceeds go to support a tremendous cause," says Ward. "In my 19-years as a fighter, I always gave everything I had to the sport of boxing. Although I am now retired, my fight outside of the ring, the greatest fight I've ever had, to help children and families in need, wherever and whenever possible, is now of the utmost importance to me."

With a terrific championship venue, numerous attending celebrities, awards ceremonies, contests, prizes, and an outstanding post-tournament dinner, this event promises to be a most memorable experience.
