THE SIDELINES : Gathers Golf Event Canceled
A golf tournament to raise money for the family of Hank Gathers, the late Loyola Marymount University basketball star, was canceled today because sponsors could not get enough celebrity athletes to play.
The three-day Hank Gathers Celebrity Golf Classic, with TropWorld Entertainment Casino and Entertainment Resort as the host, was scheduled to begin Sunday at the Mays Landing Country Club.
In addition to raising funds for Gathers’ family, money also would have been raised for the American Heart Assn. and a scholarship fund for Philadelphia and Atlantic City athletes.
