Kevin Lyman and John Reese launch "Duffing for Dollars"

Music Industry vets Kevin Lyman (Vans Warped Tour, Rockstar Taste Of Chaos, Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival) and John Reese (Freeze Management, Rockstar Taste Of Chaos, Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, Ding Life), along with their industry and celebrity friends, are putting together “Duffing For Dollars,” a fun-filled day of golf and a night of cocktails, music and casino gaming for fantastic prizes. Rocker Adrian Young of No Doubt is confirmed to host and Joe Sib of “Complete Control Radio” (98.7 FM, Los Angeles) will co-host the event which will raise funds for Unite The United & My Friend’s Place and will take place Monday, January 25th at the beautiful Mission Viejo Country Club.

This exciting day will kick-off with all registered players receiving an exclusive player gift bag filled with tons of goodies from participating sponsors followed by a putting contest and shotgun start beginning at noon. Lunch will be provided by the legendary Wahoo’s and beverages will be plentiful all day thanks to generous beverage sponsors including Jagermeister. Party Works Interactive will provide the onsite casino gaming equipment, On The Boxx has created special golf shirts, towels and hats, and Tsurt is designing the event T-shirts. The evening’s festivities will begin with an awards ceremony, presented by Vans for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams plus unique trophies like “Best Dressed,” previously won by none other than No Doubt’s Adrian Young. Dinner will follow, catered by TaDa! Catering, and the event will be topped off by a night of cocktails and a Casino Night full of fantastic prizes.

“We thought this would be a great time to bring back the tournament that we had so much fun doing in the past,” explains Kevin Lyman. “It’s also a good time to raise some dough for charity.”
