(PRWEB) September 11, 2004 -- For the 7th year, Youth Homes Inc. and Honorary Chairman, DeShaun Foster of the Carolina Panthers, invite you to participate in the Youth Homes Annual Golf Classic, September 27, 2004 with Registration at 10:30 am and Shotgun Start at 12:00 pm.

This years event will be held at Firethorne Country Club in Waxhaw, NC; an outstanding private course that is home to the qualifying round of the esteemed Wachovia Championship. Golfers will enjoy a magnificent 18 holes with complementary lunch and dinner, a goodie bag, and plenty of opportunities to win with various on-course competitions as well as a putt for cash!

Foursomes are available for $500, and individual players can participate for $125. Sponsorships are available for as little as $350.
