Professional poker player and member of the world famous Team PokerStars, Daniel Negreanu, has announced that his first annual "Big Swing" charity golf event will take place at Las Vegas's Rio Secco Golf Club on June 25th, 2009. All the funds raised on the event will benefit the Lili Claire Foundation, a non profit organization founded in 1998 by Keith and Leslie Litt Resnick wit the objective of enhancing the lives of children born with specials needs and offering hope and support to the families who love them.

The event will feature 30 amateur teams, each playing golf with one professional poker player. The event will also give registered teams and players the chance to assist to a special pre-golf Pairing's Party, in where guests and players will enjoy brunch and a live drawing that will pair them with a celebrity poker professional. The charity event will include a "Closest To The Pin" competition in where each player will compete against Daniel Negreanu on the Par Three, Seventh Hole at Rio Secco.

Rio Secco Golf Club is set in the foothills of the Black Mountain Range in Las Vegas. The challenging 18-hole course was designed by famous landscapist and architect, Rees Jones, and offers golfers an exciting golf experience in one of the most beautiful and peaceful settings in Las Vegas.

"I love golf, I love poker and I love the Lili Claire Foundation. This event is a true passion of mine and I personally guarantee that everyone who participates will have a great time at a first-class event. One-Hundred Percent of the money we raise will go to the charity, everyone is really stepping up. We have so many ideas to make the event fun and raise money for a great children's charity located here in Las Vegas." said Negreanu, who is known by its friend and fellow poker players for his humble personality and generous spirit.
