The LPGA State Farm Classic has teamed up with the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation to raise money for children’s charities through an online auction of memorabilia donated by the players. The auction will begin July 14 and run for two weeks at www.clothesoffourback.org.

The State Farm Classic has also chosen Golf For Africa, a charity started by LPGA Hall of Fame golfer and three time State Farm Classic winner Betsy King, to receive a portion of the money raised from the auction. Golf For Africa provides care and support for orphans, vulnerable children and those living with AIDS in Rwanda.

“After seeing with my own eyes the devastating conditions in Rwanda caused by AIDS and the 1994 genocide, I knew I had to do something to help,” King said.

The Clothes Off Our Back Foundation (actors Jane Kaczmarek and Bradley Whitford’s charity) is a not-for-profit organization that works with celebrities, athletes and other high profile individuals to raise money for children’s causes such as autism research, hunger relief, critically ill children and girls’ scholarship programs in Africa.
