Gurkha Cigars Signs Exclusive Sponsorship with National Golf Tournament

ORLANDO, FL (July 12, 2011) – The Lawyer Charity Challenge, the legal industry’s first national charitable golf tournament, today announced that Gurkha Cigars, one of the most famous brands of luxury cigars in the world, will be the official cigar of The Lawyer Charity Challenge. The Lawyer Charity Challenge provides a multi-tournament venue for the most influential and prestigious law firms, corporate counsel and global leaders and their clients to compete against one another at prestigious golf venues. This, “by invitation only” event is a unique opportunity that helps build business, establish relationships and support the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children charity.

 

“We are very proud and privileged to be associated with such a worthwhile charity, and we hope you will all enjoy some great golf and, of course, Gurkha Cigars,” said Kaizad (Kaizer) Hansotia, president of Gurkha Cigars.

 

The Lawyer Charity Challenge presents a unique and valued experience for lawyers to network with clients, colleagues and friends in an enjoyable environment, while supporting a national charity, the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.

 

Winners of the regional tournaments will ascend to the 2010-2011 championship tournament which will be held at Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Club & Lodge, November 6-7, 2011.

 

The first tournament at Trump National Golf Club in June of 2010 was so remarkable that we had to include a return visit in 2011. Join us on July 18, 2011 on the absolutely amazing course just 45 minutes outside of New York City.

 

Winner of the International Five-Star Diamond Award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences, Trump National Golf Club, Westchester, is an extraordinary destination and luxury golf experience. Its Jim Fazio-designed course offers 18 challenging holes over the rolling countryside, located just 30 minutes from Manhattan.
