CHICAGO, April 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Bo Jackson will be hosting the 3rd Annual Celebrity Charity Golf Classic on Friday, June 24, 2011, at Old Oaks Country Club in Homer Glen, IL. The event will benefit the Give Me A Chance Foundation, dedicated to guiding disadvantaged youth toward personal and professional growth... All proceeds will go toward the development and support of the many athletic/educational programs offered by the foundation. Last year's event drew a virtual "Who's Who" list of top name sport celebrities, TV and radio personalities and recording artists, from virtually every pro-sport and entertainment sector. Guests will have the extraordinary opportunity to mingle, dine or golf with the likes of Bo Jackson, Jim McMahon, Richard Dent, Stan Makita and many others.

"The driving force behind the Give Me A Chance Foundation is to 'give back' the time, understanding and guidance underprivileged kids never have the chance to experience.
