The events and participants lined up thus far are sure to make for a great weekend,” said Benjamin Haas, Lombardi Golf Classic chairman and VLCF board member. “The health of our sponsors, celebrities and volunteers are very important to us, so we are excited we can fight against cancer in-person again.”

“I am excited to golf at the Lombardi Golf Classic. I had a great time competing in previous years, and even more importantly contributing to the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation in the fight against cancer,” said Mason Crosby, the champion of the 2019 Lombardi Golf Classic. “To have everyone back out is exciting and I can’t wait to golf at North Hills again.”

The event is a two-day event featuring an Evening Gala at the Pfister Hotel on Friday, June 3 and 18-hole Golf Tournament at North Hills Country Club on Saturday, June 4.
