PRS guitars aids cancer research with charity golf event.

PAUL REED SMITH Guitars and the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center held the seventh annual Charity Golf Tournament October 22-23 at Caves Valley and Hayfields Country Club in Baltimore, Maryland. This year's tournament had many new offerings including an expanded concert and golf events at two premier courses.

PRS Guitars CFO Seth Henderson commented, "This charity golf tournament has raised more than a million dollars since it started almost seven years ago. It feels really great to be a part of something that can make such a big difference in the lives of families faced with medical crises."

The Recher Theater, located in Towson, Maryland, hosted the PRS Guitars Night of Blues Legends on the evening of October 22. The musical lineup features Pat Travers, Chuck Brown, Dan Toler from the Allman Brothers, Matt Scannell and Keith Kane, Vertical Horizon, Tommy Lepson, the Paul Reed Smith Band, and Erik Mongrain. Net proceeds benefited the John Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. Jon Levinson of Alex Coopers Auctioneers, Inc., hosted a live auction between the first and second sets of the concert. Some of the items up for bid included a fine selection of exquisite and rare autographed PRS artist guitars, a Palm Beach golf getaway package, and an oriental rug from Alex Cooper valued at more than $5,000.

The Living with Cancer Resource Program at Johns Hopkins assures that cancer patients and their families have access to the supportive care programs they need, all free of charge.
