Sinatra Countrywide
The Sinatra Countrywide
The Sinatra Countrywide is an invitational celebrity/amateur
tournament played on two consecutive days, Friday and
Saturday.
Amateurs participate in either of two categories:
Gold or Platinum player, or as part of the Gallery.
Celebrities who play in the event are friendly and available
for photos and autographs. In fact, spectators are
encouraged to bring cameras. The tournament succeeds
due to the loyal admiration golfers have for the memory
of Frank Sinatra, and Barbara SinatraÕs efforts
on behalf of abused children.
Tournament proceeds help provide therapy for victims
of physical, sexual and emotional abuse. No child is
ever turned away due to a family's inability to pay.
The Children's Center also focuses on prevention, community
education and breaking the cycle of abuse.
Frank and Barbara Sinatra founded the Frank
Sinatra Countrywide Celebrity Invitational in 1988
to raise funds for the Barbara Sinatra ChildrenÕs
Center At Eisenhower, which counsels and prevents child
abuse. The Children's Center opened in 1986. Through
their efforts, and those of supporters throughout the
world, the Sinatra Countrywide is now one of the most
successful events of its kind. Golf is at Indian Wells
Country Club.
Tournament headquarters and all social events
are at Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa. Both
venues are in Indian Wells, CA.
