*Los Angeles, CA – In celebration of International Men’s Health Month, the Godfather of West Coast Hip Hop, Lonzo Williams, has announced his partnership with American Cancer Society to present the 1st Annual Hip Hop Classic: Charity Golf Tournament.

This pre-Father’s Day event will take place on Friday, June 15, 2018 at the Lakewood Golf & Country Club, located at 3101 Carson Street, Lakewood, CA 90712. Lonzo will be joined by special celebrity guests (add names), elected officials and community organizations for a full day of golf on the green followed by a special dinner and awards ceremony. Throughout the day attendees can look forward to contests, photo opportunities and door prizes along with resources provided by our local health partners.

Since 2011, Lonzo has served as a spokesperson for Prostate Cancer awareness, having survived the disease after early detection. Since then, he has championed for the cause by bringing great awareness to men in his circle and using his multi-media platform to educate the African American community at-large. Now, through his partnership with the American Cancer Society, Lonzo is hoping to save even more lives. A portion of the event proceeds will benefit “Relay for Life” and Lonzo’s non-profit organization “The Lyrical Revolution”.

Additional registration and/or media inquiries should be directed to Kimberlee Smith via phone at (310) 346-8968 or email at [email protected].

ABOUT AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than five million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer; and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer, and countless more who have avoided it, will be celebrating birthdays this year.
