The main topic of discussion was that Clemmy’s Ice Cream is now a major sponsor of the Pro-Am event. Clemmy’s Ice Cream is the only all-natural sugar-free ice cream marketed in the world. It started as a small company a couple years ago and was a minor sponsor for last year’s tournament. They have partnered this year with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of playing spots in the Pro-Am will go to the JDRF.

New celebrities are expected to attend the Pro-Am because of this new partnership. Many celebrities who played last year have already confirmed including Alice Cooper, Ben Roethlisberger and Cheech Marin. Some new faces on the scene will be Kevin Sorbo, Clifton Davis, Steve Garvey and Willie Gault. Others are trying to free up their schedules to be able to come and play. Clemmy’s is hoping to make this the best celebrity Pro-Am on the LPGA tour in California.

Free Samples of the new Clemmy’s Ice Cream Os were given to the approximately 200 guests. They are delicious and will be a welcome treat for those who do not want to indulge in sugar-filled ice cream.

Clemmy’s Ice Cream got Kelli Kehne to sign on as the first of the LPGA Dream Team. They hope to be able to sign on five or six more players. Kehne was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at age 10. As a spokeswoman for both organizations, she is dedicated in getting the word out to children with diabetes and their families. She is one of the many diabetics who use an insulin pump to control her diabetes.

Other LPGA professional golfers were also in attendance. Local Nicole Castrale and Sherrie Steinhauer came to show support.

The Kraft Nabisco LPGA Championship is scheduled for March 29 thru April 4 at Mission Hills Country Club.
