Hotel ZaZa Dallas to Support the Lance Armstrong Foundation
The money raised will be donated at the third annual charity golf classic, "Swing Fore! Yellow" benefiting the Lance Armstrong Foundation, on Sept. 26 at the Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, Texas.

“The Lance Armstrong Foundation is an organization we strongly support. Many of our guests and staff have been affected by cancer in one way or another, and this is a way for us to give back to the community. We're proud to help generate funding for the fight against cancer, and proud to support such a noble, and well-established foundation. Cancer is a terrible disease that is very prevalent in our society. By donating a portion of funds from guests who book a room with us, we are doing our part to help fund research to find a cure for cancer. We look forward to a fruitful partnership to help them raise funds to find a cure for this terrible disease,” said Benji Homsey, president of Z Resorts.

The “Swing Fore! Yellow” golf tournament was founded by Steve and Lee Nagel. Lee, a cancer survivor, decided to give back by supporting the LIVESTRONG Challenge in Austin and started the annual golf Classic at Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, Texas in 2009. The golf tournament is in the top one percent of all charity golf tournaments in the Dallas/Fort Worth area out of over 8,800 played each year.

“Our goal is to help the Lance Armstrong Foundation to inspire and empower cancer sufferers and their families. The “Swing Fore! Yellow” Golf Tournament raises money and awareness on behalf of the Lance Armstrong Foundation by providing a spectacular day of golf and fun in one of the most gorgeous venues in Dallas. We depend on the generosity of supporters like Hotel ZaZa to continue helping us raise funds to eradicate this disease and make life better for cancer patients and their families,” said Steve Nagel, co-host of the “Swing Fore! Yellow” Golf Tournament.
