The Leap Celebrity Golf Invitational Returns to Raise Funds and Awareness for the Epilepsy Foundation
Since its inception in 2019, the Leap Celebrity Golf Invitational has raised over $1.3 million and engaged a community of supporters, including celebrities, athletes and business leaders committed to the cause. This year, the event is expected to continue its tradition with an exciting lineup of activities over two days.
“Over the last six years, we’ve grown into a tight-knit community with this tournament,” said Reflection Bay General Manager Jon Openshaw. “Everyone who comes out gets to have a great time and becomes a well-informed advocate. Together, we’re working towards a world free of epilepsy.”
Steve Sellery, the tournament’s organizer, created the tournament six years ago with his long-time friend O’Hurley. “I think really what makes this event so special is that it has a lot of heart, and that’s due to the people involved,” said Sellery. “The Leap Invitational is where golf meets giving. It’s fun, because people can be silly and have have a good time, but for a cause. It’s truly changing lives.”
Golfers will start their day with breakfast at Reflection Bay Golf Club, followed by on-course lunch, snacks and beverages, and will receive a player gift package. Attendees will also enjoy a live auction, music, open bar and gifting suite. The celebration will conclude with a Champions party.
Businesses can gain exposure and interact with participants through various sponsorship packages, including Hole Sponsors with customized branded signs. Notable past celebrities include actor Bruce Campbell, professional quarterback Jimmy McMahon, actor and singer-songwriter Christian Kane, former professional baseball player Ozzie Smith, chef and author Jason Santos and professional golfer Peter Jacobsen.
“With over 65 million people in the world fighting epilepsy, every step we take brings us closer to a future where no one has to face this battle alone,” said Openshaw. “All funds raised will go directly to the Epilepsy Foundation. Last year alone, $400,000 was raised, making this one of the biggest golf fundraiser events in southern Nevada. We look forward to helping raise even more this year.”
Every team in the tournament will feature a celebrity player. Packages range from individual playing spots to full celebrity foursomes.
