DETROIT, MI (PRWEB) July 06, 2017

The 7th Annual Jalen Rose Leadership Academy Celebrity Golf Classic will be held August 27 & 28 in Detroit. The weekend will be hosted by NBA Star and current ABC/ESPN Analyst, Jalen Rose, and his celebrity friends to benefit the open enrollment, public charter high school he founded in his hometown of Detroit.

The annual golf outing will expand this year to include a kick-off event on Sunday, August 27, pre-sented by MGM Resorts International at MGM Grand Detroit. Celebrities and guests will enter the exquisite MGM Grand Ballroom via a Red Carpet for a Gala and Golf Pairings Party. The star-studded event will feature live entertainment, food and signature cocktails.

On the morning of Monday, August 28, the historic Detroit Golf Club will host the 7th Annual Jalen Rose Leadership Academy Celebrity Golf Classic presented by Tom Gores and Platinum Equity. This event will be played on both notable courses and has sold out in the past.

"The event continues to grow bigger and better each year as we work together to improve the educational landscape in Detroit," says Rose. "I am very humbled that so many celebrities and personal friends participate so that JRLA can provide a leadership-focused education that engages and inspires our youth to achieve at the rigorous level necessary to ultimately graduate with a college degree. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and it allows us to go above and beyond what a traditional public school provides."

The Jalen Rose Leadership Academy is proud to share our scholar success stories, whether they are working towards high school graduation, persisting in college or have graduated and evolved as productive members of the community. This year, golf outing hole signage will display a "JRLA Future Leader" at each respective tee-box, highlighting the successes of our scholars and alumni.

Celebrity guests will be noted as they are confirmed. A limited amount of sponsorships, VIP packages and tickets to each event are available for purchase. For more information, visit the official tournament website http://www.jalenrosegolfclassic.com
